Henley 3s 1-1 Bracknell 2s

Written by Ewan Watkins

Henley secured a hard earned point against promotion pushing Bracknell on Saturday. Henley were fielding a strong side and the pace in the attack of Mark Williams caused Bracknell problems right from the outset. The Henley side were able to create chance after chance but yet again the story of the season so far continued with them not able to secure the finishing touch in front of goal. After the break Henley turned up the heat in the cold winter weather. Henley secured short corner after short corner but the strong Bracknell keeper was able to combat all of the Henley shots. Halfway into the second half after quick build up play a Bracknell foot awarded Henley yet another short corner. After the failed attempts to pass their way into the net, the Henley side opted for a simple shot. James Baker rifled the shot under the keeper and Henley were 1-0 up. Henley's lead didn't last long. Bracknell earned themselves a short corner and after a fortunate bounce the Bracknell striker cannoned the ball past Ian Rechner in goal.
