Women’s Virtual AIL: Refix Match Results

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.

Our first remote rugby match results are in.

With voting ending last night in the Week 9 refix match between Cooke and Suttonians and the Week 10 refix between Malone and Suttonians we can update our Women’s Virtual AIL table as the teams go into the Week 13 Matches today.

There were 362 votes cast over the two games and with our adjustments we get the following virtual results.

Cooke and Suttonians both get a win. A late mobilisation by Cooke sees them as the only side to pick up a virtual “try bonus” and Malone picked up a losing bonus.

This leaves the table as follows as the teams go into the penultimate round this afternoon.

[su_spoiler title=”HOW WE WORKED OUT THE SCORES” style=”fancy” icon=”arrow-circle-1″]

The votes cast were as follows.

Week 9 Refix: Cooke 130 votes Suttonians 69 votes.

Week 10 Refix: Malone 77 votes Suttonians 86 votes.

This gave us a total of 362 votes over the two games. Going on this seasons match scores the average amount of points scored per game was 44.3 points so this gave us 87 points to play with over the two virtual matches.

Dividing the average points scored over the two games (87 points) by the total votes cast over the two games (362 votes) gives us each vote is worth 0.24 points.

Multiplying the votes by 0.24 gave us the virtual “scores” as follows.

Cooke 130 x 0.24 = 31
Suttonians 69 x 0.24 = 17

Malone 77 x 0.24 = 19
Suttonians 86 x 0.24 = 21

As Cooke got over 100 votes, and had the most votes in their match they were awarded 4 match points and a virtual “try bonus” with Suttonians failing to pick up any match points in that game.  

However, Suttonians picked up four match points in their virtual “win” against Malone with Malone picking up a virtual “losing bonus point” after losing by less than 7 points.

There virtual scores and match points have been added to the league table to give our virtual standings.

Suttonians missed out on their chance to be competing for a top four place as we go into the last two rounds but there are still plenty of bragging rights to be played for, not least, which team can mobilise their support and get their voters out to secure a win.

WEEK 13 MATCHES

You can continue voting on the Week 13 matches until Midnight Saturday 28th March.

As I write, there are three sides with a bonus point in the bag as UL Bohemian, Cooke and Galwegians all have at least 100 votes in the bag but, with 15 hours to go before  voting ends, there is still plenty of time to affect the results.

Voting on these matches ends midnight Saturday 28th March 2020.
