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 Saturday Ireland U19 played Scotland U19 in the penultimate round of the Men’s Four Nations Series game at a sunny University of Ulster, Jordanstown, Campus. It was a high scoring, scrappy affair, with, at times, both defenses going AWOL.

A tense first half ended with Scotland taking the lead in the last play, latching onto a corner rebound to give Scotland a 0 – 1 lead at the break.

Things certainly livened up in the second half with Ireland’s scoring within a minute of resumption. In an exciting third quarter Scotland went back in front through and expended the lead to 1 – 3 midway through.

Ireland battled back with scores from and to take the score to 3 all and the teams went into the final quarter with everything to play for.

Robb got this second and Scotland’s fourth to put the visitors back in front five minutes into the final period but pulled it back for the game to end in a draw.

Ireland won the resulting stroke competition 4 – 3 to take a bonus point from the game leaving them just ahead of Scotland in the Four Nations Tournaments with the teams going into the final game on Sunday.
