Schools Cup: What the Rankings Say – Round 4

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.

Back by popular demand after our huge success of getting some nearly right last round!

We have a look at tomorrow’s Schools Cup Fourth Round games to see who are going to be the likely winners and losers.

We’ve added their current form, or should I say their form over their last five matches, against Ulster schools opposition, in the manner of wins/draws/losses. As before, their current rankings are in brackets.

3/0/2 Ballymena Academy (6) v (8) Belfast Royal Academy 5/0/0
Ballymena Academy by 7

5/0/0 Cambridge House (18) v (2) Wallace High 3/1/1
Wallace by 20

3/0/2 Dalriada School (12) v (1) Methodist College 5/0/0
Methody by 25

3/0/2 Enniskillen Royal Grammar (5) v (14) Down High 3/0/2

3/0/2 Rainey Endowed (10) v (15) Ballyclare High 4/0/1

1/1/3 Royal Belfast Academical Institution (7) v (13) Royal School Dungannon 4/0/1

3/0/2 Sullivan Upper (4) v (8) Campbell College 0/0/5

Wow! The stats have coughed up some interesting results there, not least current holders Campbell College getting knocked out by Sullivan! Campbell’s current form is five losses from their last five outings.

Before you go and empty your piggy bank and rush off down to the bookies please remember that some teams tend to hold something back in the weeks ahead of the schools’ cup games.  😯
