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.

Royal Belfast Academical Institution made the short trip across Belfast to play Campbell College on Saturday morning.

The scenic Foxes Field was lit up in bright patches of sunlight but unfortunately the game didn’t live up to it’s settings with the ball seeing more air time from the boot than it did passing through the hands.

The teams swapped a lot of kicks at the start of the game.

All the scoring occurred in the first half. After a prolonged period of swapping kick’s CCB’s Finlay Parkes was the first to seize the bull by the horns, with a break from midfield off the back of a ruck, the centre outpacing the defence to score out wide.

CCB’s Finlay Parkes outstrips the defence to score in the corner.

The score appeared to jolt Inst into action and they spent a sustained period in the Inst 22 before Ronan Boyle knocked over a penalty to take the score to 5 – 3.

Inst enjoyed the lion’s share of territory and possession in the second quarter and they added to their total with a Ben Gallagher try, from close in, towards the end of the first half. Boyle knocked over the conversion to give the visitors a 5 – 10 lead which they kept for the remainder of the game.
