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.

Campbell College hosted Royal Belfast Academical Institution on Friday evening at CIYMS Rugby Club with the host team winning 30 – 14 in a match that featured the 6th and 5th ranked sides in the Rugby Rankings.

Campbell dominated an injury racked RBAI who struggled to compete. Inst’s scrums and lineouts malfunctioned and they were always second best to Campbell in the loose. However the visiting side did bring plenty of enterprise and they were first to score with  crossing and converting to give Inst a 0 – 7 lead.

Thereafter they didn’t get a look in, though Campbell will wonder how they only had seven points, courtesy of a try and conversion, at half time given their dominance of territory and possession.

The second half was one way traffic, with Inst occasionally making the odd foray into the Campbell ’22’ for McIlveen to add two penalties. , and all crossed for Campbell with Rankin adding one conversion and two penalties.
