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.

Despite their handling sometimes letting them down, Rainey further extended their lead at the break when crossed on the stroke of half time for their third try of the game with Evans landing the conversion to make it 21 – 8 as the teams changed ends.

A strong start to the second half for the High School saw cross, which McMinn converted to take the score to 21 – 15  but the impressive Rainey side were not to be denied and they responded almost immediately with an unconverted try from .

Furter tries came from Davies, who completed his hat-trick, and crossed for the final score of the morning. Evans converted one to give a final score of Rainey Endowed 38 Belfast High School 15.
