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.

Having lost to Campbell in the final two years ago and semi-final last year, Armagh were not short of motivation.

Report, images and video by Richard Owens.

Piped on and pumped up Armagh were forced to play into the sun and wind. Campbell utilised the conditions well enjoying the better start playing the first 15 minutes mostly in the Armagh half but only coming away with 3 points from the boot of Jack Bonnar after coming close to crossing the line on several occasions.

*Campbell struggle to get through the Armagh defence*

From the restart Armagh went on the attack and strong forward play saw prop Jude Roberts touch down under the posts which was converted by Romain Morrow.

*Morrow sends over a conversion for Armagh.*

Another penalty for each team saw the score at 10-6 at half time.

Campbell struggled to cope as well as the home team with the strengthening wind and blinding sunshine.

Armagh began to break the Campbell line and 4 further tries, from Ross Taylor, Niall Carville, Josh Cunningham and Charlie Worth. Morrow converted two, which saw them comfortably progress to the quarter finals 34 – 6.

Richard caught up with RSA captain Sam Rainey and coach Chris Barter after the game. (Apologies for the wind!).
