2025 VAFA live stream: University Blacks v Old Xaverians, Men’s Premier League

VAFA contenders Old Xaverians and Uni Blacks – both on blistering hot streaks – are set to meet on Saturday in a potential game of the season clash. See how to watch it LIVE.

Old Xaverians find themselves in the middle of a testing three-game period.

Coach Dan Donati’s side accounted for St Kevin’s last week and now face the VAFA Premier Men’s most in-form side, University Blacks, at a time where the depth is being tested.

Blacks counterpart Dale Bower and his charges have won five on the trot to storm into fourth on the ladder setting the scene for one of the games of the season.

The senior game will be live streamed on KommunityTV from 2pm on Saturday with the reserves kickstarting the action from 11.40am.

Donati said he was expecting Blacks to be their “tough usual selves”.

“We haven’t played them this year so there’s nothing we can really look back on,” he said.

“They’re a really strong contested ball side usually who are able to intercept really well.”

Xavs are currently having their depth tested – and there is plenty of it – with several key players missing through travel, injury and suspension.

And while they have been bolstered in recent weeks by former AFL star Josh Kennedy, who has played the last fortnight, the ex-Sydney midfielder will miss Saturday’s clash with a hamstring injury.

On debut against De La Salle, he finished with 27 disposals and 21 contested possessions showcasing his ball winning ability which made him one of the AFL’s elite.

A victory for the second-ranked Xavs would make it their fifth straight as they aim to stay in touch with ladder leaders Old Brighton.
