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.

UL Bohemian continued their domination of the regular season with a comfortable win against Cooke at Shaw’s Bridge on Saturday night, the Limerick side now on an eleven game winning run.

A few late changes saw Cooke move Breana Kaio Te Whetu into the centre for Leah McGoldrick.

It was an improved performance from Cooke who had worked hard on the breakdown but the visitors had too much power and precision as they scored four tries in the first half as Stephanie Nunan, Niamh Kavanagh, Niamh O’Neill and Chloe Pearse all crossed in the first half with Edel Murphy converting one.

UL Bohs Chloe Pearse goes over for her first score against Cooke

Beth Cregan crossed for Cooke for the second match running but the teams turned round with Cooke trailing 5 – 22.

Helen McGhee scored a second half brace for Cooke

The hard working Helen McGhee got a second half brace for the home side with Amanda Morton converting one but the visitors ran in four more with Pearse crossing for her second as Murphy, Claire Bennett and Lily Brady each touched down for one. Murphy made it a personal haul of 11 points adding two second half conversions.
