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 School Dungannon made their trip to Belfast a worthwhile one, returning home a with a place in the Danske Bank Schools Cup Fourth Round after a reasonably comfortable 7 – 23 win against their hosts Grosvenor Grammar.

The first half was a low scoring affair with Dungannon the only side to trouble the scoreboard. got the board ticking over with an early penalty and touched down of the back of a maul for an unconverted try, giving Dungannon an eight point lead at the break.

The Dungannon pack continued to dominate at the start of the second half with crossing for their second unconverted try and, from the restart, a break by ended with touching down for the third try of the game, this one converted by McMullan.

Despite trailing 0 – 20 Grosvenor kept pushing and they received some reward for their efforts when blasted over for a try converted by to pull the score back to 7 – 20.

Any thoughts of a comeback were quickly dispelled when McMullan stepped up to slot over his second penalty of the game, the match ending with the scoreboard reading Grosvenor Grammar 7 Royal School Dungannon 23.

Royal School Dungannon with now host Wallace High School in the next round of the Schools Cup, the match to be played on or before the 3rd February.
