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.

Methodist College Belfast progressed to the quarter finals of the Ulster Schools Cup with a convincing win at Cambridge House on Saturday morning.

Playing into a strong wind Cambridge House battled hard to keep the score line down throught the first half and they were largely successful restricting their visitors to a 0 – 17 lead at the break.

MCB’s Adam Reid goes over for the opening score.

It took Methody 15 minutes to open the scoring with Adam Reid crashing over in the corner for an unconverted try and despite having the elements in their favour it took the visitors another quarter of an hour before they found the line again with Zac Porter coming up with the ball at the bottom of a pile up. Callum Davidson, knocking over the conversion in difficult conditions.

The tie was tipped in the visitors favour when Andrew McMurray added a third try with a break down left to give Methody their 17 point lead at half time.

Despite battling throughout Cambridge House were unable to breach the Methody defence.

Crucially, Methody got their first try of the second half with Luke Simms crossing shortly after the restart and despite the strong wind in their faces the visitors enjoyed the bulk of territory and possession in the second half.

A further try followed from Harry McCartney midway through the game and McMurray wrapped it up with his second score towards the end.
