Hunter Sports were able to fend off a second consecutive loss, having secured a 22-22 draw against Bass High at the NRL Schoolboys Cup’s double header in Maitland.

Having pulled themselves back from losing 16-6 at half time, Hunter Sports coach Craig Martine said: “We spoke about doing some things in our first half which we didn’t really execute. We had a chat at half time and we turned it around.

“We were almost good enough to bring it back, but we just fell a little bit short,” he said.

Since scoring the first try of the game in the first nine minutes of play, Bass High’s five-eighth Jonathan Sua’s efforts did not dwindle, with the captain relentless in his efforts to score again.

Right-centre Maxwell Taotua was the next to extend Bass High’s lead, before Hunter Sports’ scrum half Brandon Thompson narrowed the gap to 12-6.

Joining his twin brother, second rower Mitchell Taotua scored a try, securing Bass High a 10 point lead at half time.

With a trio of tries from left centre Jayden Harris, second rower Rylee Moses-Kincaid and prop Kade Youlten, Hunter took a short-lived lead before Bass High’s prop Fanafou Seve reversed their luck.

The game concluded four tries a piece, with Bass yet to win a game this season.
