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 damp and drizzly morning, it was great to see some sparkling hockey played in this schools friendly between Methodist College and Sullivan Upper on Saturday at Deramore Park.

A strong Methody team attacked straight from the whistle and soon took the lead when Marcus Pepper fired past the keeper from close in at a corner routine.

Sullivan responded quite quickly when Toby Aiken drove into the circle and fired past the home keeper.

It was pretty even in the first quarter until the home side regained their lead when Oliver McGreevy beat the keeper with a rising shot to the far corner.

Methody definitely stepped up a gear in the second quarter, dominating play. Firstly, Pierce Connolly increased their lead with a shot from close in and then Pepper got his second, latching on to a rebound to score.

There were no further goals in the third quarter and only the bravery of the Sullivan ‘keeper in the fourth quarter limited Methody to a single goal from close in by Dylan Maxwell, giving the home side a comfortable 5 – 1 win.
