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 sunny, but cool, Wednesday afternoon, Regent House III were the visitors to Bladon to play Royal Belfast Academical Institution V in a 3rd XV Plater 1st Round fixture.

Ollie Gillies close range try opens the scoring for Inst

Playing against the wind Inst were first to settle, though it took until the 16th minute to open the scoring against a determined Regent defence. Ollie Gillies close range try, and Ollie Grant’s conversion gave Inst a 7-0 lead.

Inst continued to press. On 22 minutes Milosz Burza was put into space to score midway out. Grant added the conversion and Inst were 14-0 up. Regent struggled to find territory and possession but defended gamely. Ben Grimley’s try after 26 minutes . . .
