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.

On Saturday Harlequins travelled the short distance to The Dub Playing Fields to play Queen’s in the Men’s Premier League.

I arrived at The Dub, a few minutes before the end of the 1^st quarter. Queens had taken a 1-0 lead, through Conor Irwin, following a penalty corner. There was no other score during the quarter.

Queen’s defence were kept busy in the first half.

The 2^nd quarter was scoreless and unremarkable save for the seemingly endless Harlequins penalty corners, which they failed to convert.

Queens lead 1-0 at halftime.

The 3^rd quarter was the opposite. Jason Taggart scored for Queen’s on 38 minutes, followed by an Andrew O’Hare brace on 41 and 42 minutes to put Queens 4-1 up.

Queen’s enjoyed a high scoring third quarter.

Quins pulled one back shortly before halftime for Queens to lead 4-1 at the end of the quarter.

The 4^th quarter was even. Neil Anderson pulled another back for Quins to reduce the deficit to 4-2, before O’Hare completed his hat trick, with a penalty flick.

Queen’s ran out worthy 5-2 winners.
