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.

BRA and Wallace High batted out a draw in the Medallion Shield quarter final at a wet and windy Roughfort on Saturday morning.

Not much to report on this one. BRA started strongly and Wallace worked their way back into the game towards the end of the first half.

Wallace High look to break out in the first half.

The visitors got on top in the second half and took a 0 – 3 lead from a penalty from their out half but his opposite number equalised shortly after.

Wallace can count themselves unfortunate not to be awarded a penalty try as their maul was brought down on it’s way to the line but BRA finished strongly with their left wing causing havoc up to the final whistle.

Plenty of endeavour, thrills and spills from both sides in front of a voluble crowd and hyperventilating coaches. They will be doing it all again later this week.
