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.

A rampant Railway Union ran in eleven tries against Highfield to claim top spot in the Women’s All Ireland League after Round 9.

Leinster starlet Aimee Clarke stole the show with the bustling winger claiming four scores. Youngsters Rachel Healy, Daisy Earle and Meaghan Kenny were amongst the scorers with Susan Vaughan also crossing as well as adding six conversions.

We joined the game just towards the end of the first half to catch Clarke crossing for her first try to give Railway a 36 – 0 lead at the break.

Aimee Clarke touches down for her first try against Highfield.

The youngster added three more in quick succession after the break as Highfield struggled to cope out wide.

Heather O’Brien and Leah Lyons did stand out for the visitors in what was, very much, a rear guard action but the power and the pace of the home side, across the pitch, was just too much for the Cork outfit who remain rooted to the bottom of the table.

Susan Vaughan, Emma Taylor and Meg Kendal all featured strongly for Railway but out Player of the Game goes to Aimee Clarke.
