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 a grey Saturday morning Regent House met Our Lady and St Pats in a Medallion Shield Tie at Hamilton Park, home of Ards RFC. A strong, cold northerly wind would prove to be a major factor, making ball handling difficult.

Playing against the wind Regent opened the scoring after 2 minutes, when Tom Bell cruised over wide out on the right for an unconverted try. Daniel Moore doubled the lead after 21 minutes with another unconverted try. Our Lady’s defense held firm and Regent took a 10-0 lead into halftime.

After the break, playing with the wind, Regent piled on the pressure. Isaac Lowe, Ethan Spratt, Evan McGonigle and Nathan Weir (2) scored tries, three converted by McGonigle for a resounding 41 – 0 victory over an Our Lady’s side that showed a lot of grit and which never gave up.
