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.

It was a short walk from the sand pitch to the water pitch at Stormont for my second match on Thursday afternoon.

The score was 0 – 0 in the U18 High School Cup match between Kilkeel High and Cookstown High when I joined the game towards the end of the first half.

It looked a lively game between two determined sides but there was no score before half time when the teams changed ends.

Cookstown pressed hard at the start of the second half.

Both teams created chances at the start of Q3. Cookstown built up a sustained period of pressure and were awarded a couple of penalty corners but were unable to convert.
