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 are delighted to put forward the Player’s Player of the Year Award for the teams participating in the Women’s All Ireland League this season.

A few weeks ago The FRU asked for nominations of the top three players each club has played against this season. All the nominations are in and it’s been a very interesting and diverse range of players that have been put forward.

In order to build the suspense, the winner will be announced on Sunday this weekend.

However, we can announce that all teams had at least one player nominated and there are three players who have received multiple nominations.

In short, the winner will come from one of the following players.

Congratulations to the above three on their multiple nominations.

We would, however, like to recognise the following players who all received nominations from their opponents.

Other nominations.
