The Front Row Union Sport - Tag: Week 6 Wrap

Tag: Week 6 Wrap

Aug 30, 2020

—

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.

It was an exciting, if somewhat damp, finish to the IRFU Volkswagen Mixed Tag Tournament at Belfast Harlequins on Thursday night.

Quite a few of the results didn’t go he way of our predictions which made it all the more interesting.

Premiership – Friesian Taggers

Premiership Results

HashTags	19 – 16	Friesian Taggers
Sheep Taggers	19 – 7	Tag My Pitch Up

Powerful performances from Peter and Michael Dawson saw the HashTags inflict the only defeat on the Friesian Taggers this series. Despite the defeat the Friesians had enough points in the bag to hold on to the Premiership title on points difference.

In the other game the Sheep Taggers were on top for most of their game against Tag My Pitch Up, Connor Phillips leading the way with four tries.

Championship – Taggers Bay

Championship Results

Taggers Bay	23 – 11	Galacticos
Carlingford Knights	20 – 12	Space Cadets

Six tries from their women players kept Taggers Bay well in front against Galacticos in their games. Jill Oliver and Sara Houston both bagged a brace as Taggers Bay claimed the Championship Title on points difference.

In the other game Carlingford Knights gave it their best effort to chase down Taggers Bay with Rosie Murchan bagging four three pointers. However the resolve from the Space Cadets proved too big a hurdle for the Knights.

Conference – Flatliners

Conference Results

Flat Liners	20 – 1	Runaways
Tag Heuers	22 – 11	Derryvolgie Halss

A comprehensive win by Flatliners against their big rivals Runaways was enough to see them home in the highly entertaining conference League. A hat trick from Louise O’Toole, including a spectacular length of the field effort, gave Flat Liners a comfortable win with Ryan Trainor (3) and Conor Gilloway (4) also amongst the scorers.

Despite nine points from Sinead Redmond and four from Benny Glendinning the Tag Heures were unable put enough distance between themselves and Derryvolgie who kept in the hunt thanks to three pointers from Anna Stanfield and Megan Henry for the second week running.

Leading Try Scorer – Rosie Murchan

Four tries in the final round was enough to push Carlingford’s Rosie Murchan one point clear of the chasing pack to claim the inaugural Mixed Tag Leading Try Scorer title. Congratulations to Rosie and thanks to all the teams for sending in their scorers each week.

Accuracy of Scorer Returns

There were some minor discrepancies in the scorer returns from some of the teams. Congratulations to Derryvolgie, Tag My Pitch Up, HashTags and Runaways for matching the posted scores 100%. Those in Orange underreported and those in red overreported.
