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.

Malone entertained Omagh on a wet Friday night at Gibson Park for an Ulster Women’s Conference Division 1 match. The home side continued their dominance of the league with a 53 – 0 win.

Given the terrible conditions throughout the day it was a credit to both teams that the match was played and a big pat on the back for the Gibson Park ground staff who served up two playable pitches after 24 hours of incessant rain.

As it was the match didn’t kick off until after 8:00 pm with Omagh delayed due to the poor weather. The rain had just about stopped but the lighting on Pitch 2 wasn’t the best so the pictures are a touch grainy or “atmospheric” as us photographers call them :-).

In the end a well drilled Malone side ran in nine tries with Fern Wilson, Anna Stanfield, Holly Brannigan (2), Neve Jones, Sara Houston (2) and Eimear Hagan all crossing with Ella Durkan adding three conversions and Ali Boal one.

The match wasn’t as one sided as the score line suggests with Omagh enjoying sustained periods in attack, their final ball just letting them down on a couple of occasions.
