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.

Despite controlling large portions of the game Dungannon fail to see off a determined UL Bohemians to lose this AIL 1B match by 19 points to 23.

Playing with a strong wind the home side took an early lead through a penalty. However Bohemians hit back shortly after with a well worked try by winger . The conversion was missed leaving the score at 3 – 5.

Dungannon, featuring Ulster players and , dominated the remainder of the opening half but failed to find the final pass and were turned over on several occasions by the impressive Bohemians back row.

Gaston, Telford and Cochrane all managed to break the gain line on occasion but invariably the moves broke down and a further three Jackson penalties were scant reward for Dungannon’s play.

The sides turned round at the break with the score reading 12 – 5 but the home side would have hoped for more given the strength of the wind.

Bohemians were quick to take advantage of the elements and proceeded to apply intense pressure on the Dungannon line. Tries from and and a conversion by saw the visitors move the scoreboard along to 12 – 17 and when knocked over a long range penalty it looked a big ask for the homeside with the score now at 12 -20.

However a determined run by the impressive finished with the young fullback forcing his way over for a try which was converted by Jackson to make it a one point game with the home side trailing 19 – 20.

Boh’s hit back with another long penalty from Flanagan and despite a determined effort from Dungannon the visitors managed to hold them out for the remainder of the game.
