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.

The Ulster Tag Summer tournament kicked off at Belfast Harlequins RFC with 11 teams taking part and our photographer Bob Given was there to capture the welcome return to action after the long lay off.

After a year out of the game the players were just glad to get a run out and it was a fairly gentle reintroduction for the experienced sides who each played three 20 minute “non competition” games over the evening.

Emma Jordan makes a break for Tag Babes as Ulster Tag Rugby returned to Belfast Harlequins on Tuesday 1st June 2021.

However, the four beginners sides got straight into competitive action with the QUBES playing Hunterquins and the Runaways playing No State To Try.

Beginners Results Round 1.

QUBES	19	7	Hunterquins
Runaways	8	18	No State To Try

QUBES make a winning start against Hunterquins as Ulster Tag Rugby returned to Belfast Harlequins on Tuesday 1st June 2021.

It was great to see some sporting action and it was even better that, as restrictions ease, we were able to get along for some photographs.

The Summer Tag competition will continue at 18:45 on Tuesday and Thursday evenings at Belfast Harlequins RFC throughout June and, given the circumstances, the organisers are keeping registration open for the coming weeks so there is still time to enter a team at the “experienced” or “beginners” level.
