U14 Provincial Cup: Banbridge 24 Co Cavan 10 Final

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, in game one of a triple header of Youth Finals Banbridge played Cavan in the U14 Provincial Cup. A strong swirling wind, coupled with strong sun, hail and rain made for challenging conditions.

Playing with the wind Cavan attempted to play the ball out of defence but met a strong tackling Banbridge defence. Banbridge opened the scoring when Matthew McAllister found space to go over after 9 minutes. Odhran Toner’s try and conversion on 24 minutes gave Banbridge a 12-0 lead at halftime. Cavan failed to exploit the wind in the 1st half.

Lorcan Mantell stretched over for the opening score of the 2nd half

An early Lorcan Mantell try after 28 minutes when he ran in from distance, before stretching over in the left corner put Banbridge 17-0 up.
