2025 Peter Mulholland Cup live stream: Holy Cross Ryde v All Saints Maitland, Round 1
An All Saints Maitland squad with a mix of toughness and class set to test its mettle in an opening Peter Mulholland Cup showdown against Holy Cross. See how to watch it LIVE.
They make them tough in Maitland, and this current crop of All Saints students has a touch of class heading into this year’s Peter Mulholland Cup campaign.
As they prepare for their season opener against Holy Cross College – live streamed Tuesday on KommunityTV – a host of players will be pulling double duty in the Harold Matthews Cup decider on Saturday.
“We’ve got a few boys that are in the Knights Harold Matts team in the grand final this weekend,” head of sport Elliott Plank said.
“That’s rubbing off onto the whole squad. The pathways boys and non-pathways boys are really keen to show what they can do on this stage.
“We’re very lucky to have a strong rugby league tradition at this school. We have a number of players at the Knights, St George and Manly, plus a few union boys and they’re helping those guys.
“We’ve lost a bit of experience but it feels like we’ve gained some enthusiasm.”
All Saint’s clash with Holy Cross will be one of seven Peter Mulholland Cup fixtures exclusively live streamed on KommunityTV on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Plank said while there is one eye on the future with the age of their squad, there is a real hunger within the group to push for higher honours in the present.
“We’re looking pretty good. Got a young side and a fair few of them played in Year 10 last year. With that little bit of experience they’re keen to have a crack,” he said.
“We feel like the draw is pretty good. We played a few of these sides last year and know what to expect with those guys.
“The boys have been training really well. The commitment they’ve shown in getting to training and getting around each other has been great.
“They keep each other accountable and they’re motivated to do better than last year. They’re doing everything we’ve asked of them.”
In terms of personnel, All Saints has benefited from high-level talents in key positions.
“Chase Butler is a halfback who is champing at the bit. He’s really skilful, leads the team around and is very much a leader in the squad,” Plank said.
“Cody Field is a fullback with St George in Harold Matts who is looking for a big year, and Charlie Jones played five-eighth in that team and brings a great kicking game and is a big, tough defender.”
Watch All Saints take on Holy Cross live on KommunityTV from 11am Tuesday at Woy Woy Oval.
