Schools: RBAI 8 CCB 6

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.

Royal Belfast Academical Institution maintained their spot at the top of The Front Row Union Ulster Schools Rugby Rankings with a hard fought win over Campbell College Belfast on a damp and dank Wednesday afternoon.

There was plenty of honest application and a bit of bristle from both sides, but the game was far from a classic with defences dominating in a low scoring game.

Inst enjoyed the early exchanges, keeping Campbell on the back foot for most of the first quarter, but the home side only had a single penalty, from , for their efforts.

Campbell turned the game around in the second quarter, landing two penalties, and were unfortunate not to pick up a try during a period of sustained pressure on the Inst line. However, with the home side throwing their bodies into defence, they kept their line intact and will have been happy enough to turnaround  trailing 3 – 6.

The home side regained the lead early in the second half with a try from  out wide. The remainder of the game, though tense, was fairly uneventful with no further scores.
