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.

Wallace High School recorded a win against Sullivan Upper School on Saturday morning in an entertaining game.

Both teams are looking to rebuild after losing a few graduates to the Ireland U20’s side during lockdown and, as with most of the sides we’ve covered this season, the early exchanges were full of intent though a bit scrappy.

Zac Lindsey opened the scoring for Wallace

Wallace were first on the score board, towards the end of the first quarter with Zac Lindsay scoring an unconverted try, out wide, to give the home side a 5 – 0 lead.

It was a lead they took to the break with defences dominating in a fairly even first half.

Wallace enjoyed a strong start to the second half and a bustling run from Cameron Doak was finished off by hooker Harry Wright close to the posts. Charlie Beattie added the conversion to push the score along to 12 – 0.

Sullivan looked for a response and enjoyed their fair share of possession but they were unable to break down the Wallace defence.

It looked as though Wallace were going to run away with the game after a bruising run from Adam McClean ended with their third try, Matthew Halliday‘s conversion pushing the score along to 19 – 0 at the start of the third quarter, however some general indiscipline opened the door for their opponents and they came rushing through.

Roy Carson capped a fine performance with a late try for Sullivan.

Sullivan out half Patrick McFerran started the ball rolling with a successful penalty before a penalty try was awarded, for an early tackle out wide, and the visitors gave themselves the chance of an extraordinary come back when impressive No 8 Roy Carson bundled over for a try minutes later to make it a one score game, at 19 -15, with minutes to play.

However, the home side regained their composure in the final minutes and held on for that all important win.
