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 afternoon City of Armagh met Queen’s University Belfast in the Senior Cup, as part two of a double header with the Junior Cup, at the Kingspan Stadium.

Both sides were adventurous in the first minutes with searing breaks stopped by scrambling defences. Play moved between the 22s, with both sides keen to move the ball along the backs. The deadlock was broken on 18 minutes when Queens’ Conor McKee found a gap to get over for a try converted by Ritchie McMaster for a 7-0 lead.

Armagh responded after 27 minutes when Harry Boyd converted a penalty attempt to bring the score back to 7-3.
