Irish Senior Cup: Banbridge 2 Corinthian 1

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 caught up with the Irish Senior Cup Quarter Final between Banbridge and Corinthian at Havelock Park on Saturday afternoon.

Corinthian applied the early pressure in the first quarter and their efforts were rewarded with a successful penalty corner strike from David Howard on the 10th minute for a 0 – 1 lead which they took into the second quarter.

Banbridge pulled it back to 1 – 1 at half time as captain Mark Cowan fired in a penalty corner from the edge of the circle with the last play of the half.

The young Banbridge side had a lively start to the second half with Adam McKee and Edward Rowe particularly busy in attack, creating a few chances. It took them a while to break down the stubborn Corinthian defence but a late penalty corner strike from Adam McKee was turned in by Matthew McKee . . .
