Medallion Shield: Dromore High School 26 Larne Grammar School 12

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.

Tuesday lunchtime was mild, there was even sunshine, for the postponed 4th round Medallion Shield tie between Dromore High School and Larne Grammar School at Barban Hill.

Dromore had possession and territory in the first 25 minutes of the game, played mostly between the Larne 22 and halfway line, but were unable to turn this into points. On their first visit to the Larne 22 they were held up in goal.

Eventually on 25 minutes Dromore ran back a Larne kick up field and found space on the left for Robert Russell to run round a scrambling Larne defence to score close to the posts. Luke Dillon’s conversion gave Dromore a 7 – 0 lead.
