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.

Larne Grammar enjoyed a comfortable 7 – 54 win against Wellington College on Saturday morning in an Ulster Schools 1st XV Friendly at Carolan Road.

The Grammar’s centre led the way with four tries with , , and also crossing. McKee converted his own try and out half Glenn converted six. A late rally by the home side resulted in a last minute try, the well struck conversion landed from out wide.

The visitors appeared to be further along in their early season preparations than the hosts with Withers wrecking havoc in the Wellington defence. The impressive centre grabbed an early brace, both converted by Glenn, to give Larne a 14 – 0 lead in as many minutes.

Withers completed his hat-trick at the end of the first quarter, this time unconverted, and scrum half Currie crossed for the visitors fourth at the end of the first half. Glenn converted to take the score to Wellington 0 Larne 26 at the break.

That man Withers crossed for his fourth just after the restart and Glenn latched onto a loose pass to add a try to his six conversions.

Replacement Shaun Lee Watson got in on the act, barging over from close range and a late cameo of a try and a conversion from McKee completed the scoring for the visitors.

Undaunted, Wellington showed remarkable resilience to finally breech the Larne defence, for a converted try, late on to reward their considerable improvement throughout the game.
