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.

Belfast Harlequins Women hosted Dungannon Women in the Deloitte Junior Cup at Deramore Park on Sunday afternoon.

The 1st half was a stop/start affair with neither team able to dominate and because of a plethora of injury stoppages it lasted 55 minutes.

Dungannon on the charge in the first half.

Dungannon took the lead after 19 minutes, when after a series of forward drives, Sandra Anderson scored. Kirsty Hawkes added the conversion and Dungannon lead 7 – 0.

On the stroke of half time Harlequins equalized when Lesley Winder scored midway out and Melissa Traynor kicked the conversion to leave the teams level at 7 – 7.

If the 1st half was stop/start then the 2nd half was full on.

Within 2 minutes Dungannon had regained the lead after a flowing move allowed Julie Anne Garvey in at the corner for an unconverted try.

Harlequins hit back and, after pressure, Traynor wriggled over for a try beside the posts. Stacey Bryce converted to give Harlequins a 14 – 12 lead.

Play moved between the ‘22s’ with neither team gaining the upper hand until Dungannon retook the lead with an unconverted try by Stephanie Lynch on 25 minutes.

It seemed Dungannon had done enough, until in the final move of the game Nuala McKeown rumbled over for a Harlequins try to give Quins a 19 – 17 win.
