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.

Ulster U18 Girls took to the pitch for their first interpro game of 2022 on Sunday against Leinster at Banbridge HC. The Ulster girls had the majority of attacking opportunities in the opening quarter; forwards Gabi Scott and Emma Uprichard making several steals from the Leinster outlet to create chances which were well dealt with by the Leinster defence and goalkeeper, Martha Duigan.

As the visitors began to settle into the game, they created several counterattacks against an outnumbered Ulster defence. It was from one of these overloads that they won a corner and took the lead going into the half time break when their strike at the top of the circle from Alex Gallagher took an unexpected deflection off an Ulster stick and caught the keeper off guard.
