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.

Despite Malone being buoyed by their 1st XV’s win against Galwegians Women in the Energia AIL, the night before, the visitors found Carrick too hot to handle in this one.

Carrick wrapped the game up with two first half converted tries and found their way over the line for their third in the second half making it four wins from four in the Championship.

The result leaves Carrick a point ahead of Belfast Harlequins though the Belfast side have a game in hand.

With both Carrick and Quins due to meet in the Quarter Final of the Junior Cup and in the last fixture of this league it’s looking like the two table toppers will be getting to know each other pretty well in the coming months.
