The Front Row Union Sport - Monaghan duo impress for Ireland U18 Women’s Sevens

Monaghan duo impress for Ireland U18 Women’s Sevens

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.

Ireland U18 Women’s Sevens side enjoyed an unbeaten weekend in Edinburgh at the inaugural Home Nations Sevens tournament. They won all five of their matches, scoring 25 tries in the process.

The Ireland side featured two Ulster U18 players with Monaghan duo Kelly McCormill and Lucinda Kinghan impressing. The talented duo, who have recently signed for TeamFRU, can add their Home Nations Sevens Grand Slam to their Interprovincial XV’s Grand Slam which they picked up in 2016.

The two-tournament series, which concludes at Birmingham University on July 20-21, saw the best of underage Sevens talent in Ireland, England, Scotland and Wales play off at the Peffermill Playing Fields in Edinburgh with a round-robin format on Saturday and knockout matches yesterday.
