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.

We caught up with this game towards the end of the first half.

Lurgan college had worked a 0 – 14 lead thanks to tries from Luke Forsyth and Josh Woods; Harry Bird adding the conversions.

Banbridge edged territory and possession in the second half but despite an early try from Peter Coughlin they were unable to make their territorial advantage count and Lurgan increased their advantage with two tries of their own.

The first came from a speculative kick which was chased down by second row Ben Marsden who produced an athletic off load to set Bird clear for a run in, the impressive out half converting his own try.

The final try was awarded to Lurgan’s hard working Marsden who drove over form close range, Bird converting to give a final score of 7 – 26 in Lurgan’s favour.
