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.

With a midweek Schools Cup game, last week, and another one today (Monday) we decided to catch up with the Club U18 League on Saturday morning with Larne U18 entertaining league leaders Belfast Met at the Glynn.

The Met’s unbeaten run came to an end with Larne staging a second half fightback to secure a 19 – 7 win. The result should see Larne surge into the top two of the Ulster Carpets U18 East 2 League despite the Glynn outfit still having a few postponed games to catch up on.

Belfast Met took a 0 – 7 lead in a tight first half with scoring a converted try.

Larne came back with all guns blazing in the second half and the impressive scored early before and also crossed.

The home side’s indiscipline almost let the visitors back into the game but the Larne defence, with Smyth to the fore, held firm giving the Glynn boys a 19 – 7 win.
