We are currently carrying out a necessary behind-the-scenes upgrade to how images are stored and delivered on The Front Row Union Sports. With over 770,000 images on the site, we are moving our entire image library to a dedicated cloud storage service. This means images will load faster for you, regardless of where you are in the world, and the site will be more reliable overall.

As we are working on three separate versions of images during the offload process, the site cache sometimes struggles to keep up with which version to display and occasionally post grid images or complete galleries may fail to appear. This is a temporary side effect of the migration process — the image exists and is safe, it is simply in the process of being moved to its new home and identified as being there. A refresh of the page will usually bring them back, however, if it does not please contact john@thefrontrowunion.com stating clearly the post address and we will restore it as soon as possible. We apologise for any inconvenience this causes and appreciate your patience.

We expect the bulk of the image migration to be completed by the end of June 2026, with a fully upgraded version of the site ready to launch in August 2026. Once that work is done, the site will be noticeably faster, images will load more reliably, and you will not see any further disruption of this kind. Thank you for your continued support of The Front Row Union Sports.

UL Bohemians managed to hold on to four of their international panelists for the trip to Belfast but, once again, it was Cooke who were the authors of their own misfortune with poor tackling and very poor ball retention allowing the visitors to race to a 26 – 0 lead in the first half hour.

Hard running caused the damage bagging three tries with hooker  converting two and found time to score and convert a try of her own. 

Cooke eventually got their act together as the game approached the break with making the line, after a concerted period of pressure. converted and the teams turned around with Cooke trailing 7 – 26.

It was a much more competitive second half as Cooke upped their game, but a breakaway try, finished by Staunton and converted by Murphy, dealt the killer blow for the visitors about fifteen minutes in. Cooke did enjoy some success in the set piece but their poor work at the breakdown saw a lot of good work undone. 

The home side did increase their tempo as the game wore on and probably just edged the second half, a late try by , converted by Jackson, some reward for their efforts. 

The result sees Bohs consolidate their position at the top of the league with Cooke slipping down one to 6th place.
