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.

Coleraine Grammar pulled away in the second half to record a 29 – 13 win against Friends School, Lisburn in the third round of the Schools Cup yesterday afternoon.

A mediocre first half saw very little between the two teams. Friends went in ahead by virtue of a converted try and and a penalty to Coleraine’s try and penalty.

The second half really sparked into life with some great running from both sides, hard hitting tackles, clever positional kicking and powerful forwards battling for everything.

However it was Coleraine who came out on top with tries from , and to add to the first half score from . added three conversions and a penalty.

Friends School will be disappointed that their only response in a busy second half was an early penalty.

Final score: Coleraine Grammar 29 Friends School 13
