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 Men entertained Scotland U19 Men in the final match of the Four Nations at University of Ulster, Jordanstown, on a very sunny Sunday afternoon. Both sides were vying for the championship, Ireland needing a draw or better and Scotland needing a win.

It was the Scottish side that claimed the championship with a 0 – 2 win, after goals from Adam MacKenzie and Keir Robb, Ireland unable to make their pressure count in the last third of the pitch.

Ireland started on the front foot and enjoyed the bulk of possession in the first half but the Scots looked more dangerous on the break. However, defences dominated in the first half and the teams turned round with the game scoreless.

Scotland celebrate their opening goal against Ireland.

The Scots began to get their stick on the ball more often in the second half and they slowly built up the pressure on the Irish goal throughout the third quarter and they finally got their breakthrough when MacKenzie tapped in a rebound for the visitors to take a 0 – 1 lead into the final quarter.

Ireland pushed hard but that vital final touch continued to eluded their forward line and a late break, through the centre, by MacKenzie was eventually finished off by Robb to give Scotland a 2 – 0 win and the championship.
