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.

After a rough morning with “man flu” or a cold in normal parlance I crawled out of my sick bed and made my way to Newforge to catch the Ulster Hockey Intermediate men’s league clash between the PSNI and Antrim, the Police side playing their first fixture of the season in this competition.

An out of sorts Antrim are probably wishing that the PSNI had left it for an other week as this was a pretty one sided game with the home side dominant from the pass back.

With the Westlink even slower than usual I was a few minutes late and the match had already started with the PSNI leading 1 – 0 thanks to a goal from David Coates and they doubled their lead right at the end of the first quarter with Adam Marshall sending home a penalty corner.
