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.

We caught up  with the Mighty Larne III’s on Saturday afternoon a they hosted high flying Grosvenor III’s in the second round of the McCambley Cup at the Glynn. 

Both teams had been progressing well this season in their respective leagues and we expected quite a thriller despite the damp and dank conditions at the picturesque Glynn playing fields.

Gary Mills makes an early break for Larne

The game started in a soft rain and dark conditions but, despite an early burst from the Larne midfielder , it quickly tuned in favour of the visitors as Larne struggled to cope with a raft of call ups to the 2nd XV’s big game.

The home team battled throughout but they lost their defensive shape too often and slipped off too many tackles to contain the hard running Grosvenor side that ran in five tries in the first half. 

Liam Slaughter celebrates scoring against some of his old school teammates.

The visitors scores came from , , , and with Armstrong adding two conversions and a penalty. 

Grosvenor go over for another first half try. 

Most of the damage occurred in the fist half as Grosvenor cut loose but Larne continued to battle throughout the second to claim a consolation score. 

Final score: Larne III 5 Grosvenor III 32
