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.

Ireland U19 Women and their Welsh counterparts went head to head for the second time in their Four Nations match on Sunday at the University of Ulster, Jordanstown Sports Arena with Ireland coming out on top 5 – 0 in an entertaining encounter.

Ireland mixed up their squad for this game but Wales stuck with the same players and the early morning start and damp conditions appeared to suit the visitors who looked particularly sharp in the opening exchanges.

Wales enjoyed the better of the first quarter with and to the fore and they must be wondering how they went into the first break without a score to their name.

Ireland slowly worked their way back and a second quarter goal from the impressive Leah O’Shea seemed to settle the team who began to get on top.

The hard working Aisling Murray picked up Ireland’s second seven minutes later to see Ireland go into half time with a 2 – 0 lead.

Ireland picked up another couple of goals as they started to dominate possession with scoring before O’Shea picked up her second.

Wales had their chances but they struggled to be as clinical as the Irish players in front of goal, a long range effort from defender probably their best effort, they did however keep Ireland on the back foot for most of the final quarter but an energetic display from Ireland’s ended with finding the back of the net to give Ireland a 5 – 0 win.
