Schools Cup: Cambridge House 8 Larne Grammar 10

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.

Larne Grammar dominated much of this game in terms of territory and possession, with their scrums particularly dominant. However Cambridge House coped with their attacks reasonably comfortably and it looked as though they had delivered the ultimate sucker punch when their centre broke from deep to feed Kane McIlroy to score an unconverted try with ten minutes to go.

The visitors responded almost immediately with Micah Stevenson barging over from close range after a charge down had created havoc in the Cambridge defense. Jonny Farquhar added the extras to give Larne a 5 – 7 lead.

The drama continued to ramp as James Bovill slotted over an impressive penalty to put Cambridge one point in front but the last play of the game saw Larne awarded a penalty for Sam Wood to convert and claim the match.

Larne will now host Dalriada for their Round 2 game on Saturday 7th January.
