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.

My second game at City of Armagh rugby Club on Saturday with the Provincial Premier D1 match between Armagh 3rd XV and Belfast Harlequins 2nd XV.

I arrived over for the second half with the score at 5 – 7 in Quins favour. Armagh’s points came form a William Coleman try, Quins responding through a Tom McAllister try and a Charlie Beattie conversion.

Quin’s Charlie Beattie was on form with the boot.

Again, the game was played in very difficult conditions and Quin’s more experienced pack controlled proceedings in the second half, ably assisted by some astute kicking from Beattie.

The visitors parked themselves in Quins territory for the bulk of the second half. Difficult handling conditions saw a few chances go begging but also prevented Armagh . . .
