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.

It’s an old sporting cliché, but Saturday morning’s Under 14 rugby match between Malone and Ballynahinch Under 14’s at Gibson Park was truly a game of two halves. Malone led 24 nil at half time with some great free flowing rugby with tries from , , and , two of which were converted by .

Malone enjoyed a strong first half performance against Hinch in the U14 friendly.

Ballynahinch dug deep and scored 24 unanswered points in the second half to tie the match. Tries by , and , one converted by set up Hinch for an unlikely comeback and when scored in the final moments, out half Woods showed nerves of steel to slot over his second conversion with the final kick of the game, from a difficult angle.

A remarkable second half sees Hinch equalise with the final score.

Unfortunately both teams choose to score at the opposite end of the pitch from our photographer. 🙁
