U18 Club Interprovincial: Ulster 19 Munster 27

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.

We, eventually, caught up with the Irish U18 clubs Interprovincial Series match between Ulster and Munster on the artificial pitch at Newforge on Saturday afternoon.

I missed the start of this one as I was sat at the bottom end of the grass pitch watching the end of the mighty Larne Ladies hockey match against Pegasus as I waited for the teams to come out as no one told me they were using two pitches for the rugby!

Lorcan McLarnon (right) scored a well worked try for Ulster.

By the time I’d caught on, Ulster were trailing 7 – 8 to munter approximately 10 minutes in. Josh McColgan with the try and Jonnie Kennedy with the conversion were the scorers for Ulster; Daniel Ward with the try and Sean O’Regan with the penalty for Munster.
