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 took in a spooktactular Ulster Hockey Women’s Premier League game between Ulster University Elks and Lisnagarvey at the UUJ Sports Arena on Friday evening against the backdrop of multiple fireworks lighting up the sky.

Lucy Craig was the only scorer as Elks pull off a 1 – 0 win against Lisnagarvey in the Women’s Premier League

A hard working Elks side dominated the opening two quarters and they must be wondering how they only had a 1 – 0 lead at the break after enjoying approximately 80% territory and possession.

The Elks goal, from Lucy Craig, came after 10 minutes, from their second penalty corner, but they really should have gone into the second half with a comfortable lead.

Lisnagarvey built their attacks from the back in the second half.

Lisnagarvey were a completely different prospect in the second half which they edged. They never got to the heights that the Elks got to, with their all over press, in the first half, but Garvey showed more composure coming out of defence in the last two quarters and will probably be disappointed they didn’t pick up a draw after topping the territory stats in the later stages.

As it was, it was the right result, the Elks all over game doing enough to deserve all the points at the final whistle.
