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.

Because of car park congestion, I arrived at Pollock Park, mid way through the 1st half with Lurgan leading 14-0 through tries by and , both converted by Elliot McKew.

There’s a line in the Dylan Thomas poem, ‘Do not go gentle into that goodnight’ which says, ‘Rage, rage against the dying of the light’. Well that was me on Saturday afternoon in the gloom in Lurgan!

Lurgan increased their lead when McKew, scored and converted his own try to bring Lurgan’s lead up to 21-0

Keiran Lambert scores for Lisburn

On the stroke of half time Lisburn pulled a try back, when scored an unconverted try to leave Lurgan with a 21-5 halftime lead. 

Any Stevenson scores his second try for Lurgan

Lurgan increased their haul in the 2nd half with another Stevenson try, before Peter Hutchinson scored. converted both to give Lurgan a comprehensive 35-5 victory and a place in the next round.
