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 morning Letterkenny II U14 made the trip up to Shaw’s Bridge to play Instonians U14 in the U14 Bowl. To Letterkenny’s credit, though their first XV match was conceded, they fielded their relatively novice second XV, against an experienced Instonians side.

Inst fielded the ball from kick off and fed James Lewis, who rounded the Letterkenny defence before dotting down under the posts. His conversion put Inst up 7-0 in a minute.

Cameron Lyttle crashes over for Instonians 2nd try

Letterkenny had barely touched the ball, when Cameron Lyttle crashed over after 6 minutes, to put Inst up 12-0.

Two minutes later Fred Patterson found space on the right to touch down under the posts for a 17-0 lead. On 12 minutes Allan Przbysz darted through, for Lewis to convert for 24-0.

Letterkenny enjoyed some possession but found it difficult to make headway into the Inst half.

Aidan Notarantonio‘s try and Lewis’ conversion moved Inst out to 31-0 on 19 minutes. Captain, Marcel Cebula‘s drove over, on the right, after 24 minutes, to bring up 36-0.

Joshua McDowell‘s try and Lewis’ conversion, after 27 minutes, gave Inst a 43-0 half time lead.

After Cullen Crothers try, on 34 minutes, the game was called, with Inst winning 48-0.
