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.

We called in with our friends at Dromore High on our way down to Dublin on Saturday morning and we were rewarded with some entertaining play, from both teams.

Unfortunately, our schedule only gave us time for the first half but we were still treated to four tries as Johnny Scott (2), Ryan Rodgers and Curtis Forbes all crossed with Ethan Mount converting three for Dromore to lead 26 – 0 at the break.

Johnny Scott crossed for two first half scores.

I’d say we’ll be getting games like this for a few months yet as the schools return to rugby at different rates. In truth, Friends’ weren’t that far off the mark in most aspect’s of the game but Dromore looked sharper, I’d guess through having a bit more game time in the last month.

Ethan Mount knocked over five conversions for Dromore during the match.

Dromore scored another four in the second half as Taylor Beacom-Hurle crossed twice before Rodgers added his second and Matthew Heasley finished off the scoring. Mount added two second half conversions to round the score up to Dromore High 50 Friends’ School 0.

We’re not reading too much in to any score, across all our coverage, at the moment, but both these teams are well coached and I’m sure both squads will get a lot out of this early season hit out. Thanks to the running rugby we got over 280 images from our half hour stint.
