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.

Only caught the first half hour of this game which is a pity as it looked as though a sprightly game was going to break out.

As it was, I did catch three tries with the visitors leading 14 – 5 when I left. Tries from and , converted by , had put BRA into a 14 point lead before had responded for Bangor as the home side struggled against a strong headwind.

McCrossan crossed again before half time and, with this one converted by , it was a two point game. BRA scored their third on the stroke of half time through but I guess Bangor would have been happy enough turning round with a seven point deficit given the strength of the wind.

Unfortunately, for the home side, they were unable to take full advantage. Bangor did add tries from and , both converted by Larmour, but BRA matched them score for score with crossing before second row Keed got over for his second to claim the match.

Final score: Bangor Grammar 26 Belfast Royal Academy 33.
