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.

Ireland U19 women entertained their Scottish counterparts at the University of Ulster, Jordanstown on Sunday afternoon in their final match of the Four Nations championship.

The Irish team had won the championship the previous day, in their draw against the same opponents, but they continued to battle hard in this goalless draw, though they will have been disappointed to lose the bonus point shoot out 1 – 3 at the end.

Despite the game ending goalless it was an entertaining encounter between the teams with Sophie Dix and Eva Lavelle putting in strong performances for Ireland and Anna Hoolaghan and captain Katie Swanson showing well for the Scots, Hoolaghan particularly impressive leading the Scottish defensive efforts.

As an introduction to hockey we at the Front Row Union have found the men and women’s U19 Four Nations an entertaining competition to cover and we look forward to catching up with the players from both squads in the EYHL throughout the season.
