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.

Last night Randalstown Women met Queens Women on a mild, windless night at Queens Arena in a Women’s Premier League game.

Randalstown seemed to have the edge in early encounters but it was Queens, who took the lead after 13 minutes when Alyssa Jebb struck following a penalty corner. Jess McMaster doubled the lead from open play a minute later to give Queens a 2-0 1st quarter lead.

Queens continued to press but were rewarded with a solitary Claire Whiteside strike after 27 minutes. Queens lead 3-0 at halftime.

After the break Queens hit a purple patch. McMaster scored after 32 minutes, followed by Sophie McDowell, 2 minutes later, for Queens to lead 5-0.

Following a penalty corner Randalstown pulled one back, through Alex Graham after 40 minutes, only for McMaster to complete her hat trick a minute later. Queens lead 6-1.

Randalstown pushed hard in the final quarter.

Ellie Montgomery scored a seventh Queens goal after 44 minutes to complete a 7-1 3rd quarter lead.

A scoreless 4th quarter saw Randalstown lay siege to the Queens goal with a seemingly endless series of penalty corners. The Queens defense held firm.

The 7-1 victory was a very fair reflection of Queens dominance. One can only feel for the frustration of the Randalstown coaches.
