2025 Peter Mulholland Cup live stream: Farrer MAHS v Hunter Sports High, Round 2

Hunter Sports High have been given a major boost with three Knights juniors being injected into their Peter Mulholland Cup line-up to battle Farrer MAHS. Watch the clash LIVE on Thursday.

Hunter Sports High started the Peter Mulholland Cup in top gear but are expected to find another one ahead of the side’s Round 2 showdown with Farrer MAHS.

Hunter has been buoyed for the long road trip to Tamworth by the return of several key players who missed their season-opening win.

The clash between Farrer and Hunter Sports High will be exclusively live streamed on KommunityTV on Thursday, June 12.

Knights juniors Cooper Votano, Billy Toms and Wyatt Katon will all make their return to the field, while star representative fullback Toby Winter remains a 50-50 prospect.

Winter will have scans next week on a suspected fractured thumb.

Hunter Sports High coach Tony Gleeson said there was a level of excitement around the squad that had been missing for several seasons.

He also heaped praise on the squad’s depth and the players who stepped up in Round 1 to help them to victory.

“There were a couple of those fringe guys like Matty Walton who were thrown into the fire at the last minute, they did a really good job,” he said.

“They just went out and did their own job well and that is all we ask of them. I think the main thing we spoke about and what we focus on after that win was why we had the good result.

“Playing simple footy and not going away from that. It was from the hard work and really simple stuff that we built that performance… That is how we have trained this week.”

Votano is expected to partner three-try hero Kyran Blair in the halves for the clash against Farrer MAHS, with the pair’s explosive running game expected to be a focal point of attack.

Farrer will be determined to bounce back in their own right after going down by 36 points at the hands of Endeavour Sports High in the opening round.

The boys from regional NSW came out of their Round 1 contest with little to show for, but a spirited 10 minute period after halftime in which they cracked the Endeavour defences was cause for optimism.

The Tamworth nursery will look to unlock dual-code star Matthew Beattie, who also opens the batting for Farrer’s First XI cricket side, at the back to create more try-scoring opportunities.
