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.

On a bright, very blustery Saturday morning Enniskillen Royal Grammar School made the journey up from Co Fermanagh to play Campbell College at The Dub Playing Fields in south Belfast.

Playing into a very strong diagonal wind, Campbell put the pressure on Enniskillen from kick off. Zak Solomon went over after 4 minutes and Jonny McCracken converted to give Campbell a 7 – 0 lead.

With Enniskillen unable to get out of their own half, Oliver Topping ran in from distance to score in the corner, converted by McCracken to double Campbell’s lead.

Enniskillen stubbornly defended but were unable to stop Flynn Longstaff‘s powerful charge to the line, on 25 minutes for an unconverted try. Topping added his second try on 30 minutes.

On a very rare excursion into the Campbell, Tim Harte squeezed in at the corner for an unconverted try for Enniskillen to reduce the deficit to 24 – 5.

Campbell had the final say in the first half, when Matthew Booth scored, converted by McCracken, to give Campbell an impressive 31 – 5 half time lead with the wind to come after the break.

Though Enniskillen stuck to their task, the second half was one way traffic. It took less than 10 minutes for Cal Florence to bag a hat trick. Tries followed from Lucas Kerr, Cameron Faith and Booth. All were converted by McCracken, to given Campbell a resounding 73-5 victory and Enniskillen, a long journey home.
