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, at lunchtime I took in the Men’s Premier mid table fixture between Belfast Harlequins and Queen at Deramore Park.

Quins had the lion’s share of possession in the 1st quarter, limiting Queens to breaks. Despite chances being created it remained scoreless in the 1st quarter.

Perhaps against the run of play Queens opened the scoring when Phil Campbell’s angled shot found the net to put Queens 1-0 up, after 17 minutes.

Quins pressure told and Hamdi Faisal equalised after 24 minutes. It remained 1-1 at halftime.

After the break the game was a much more even affair. Play was end to end with both sides having chances but failing to score. It remained 1-1 at the end of the 3rd quarter.
