Impressive Home Win

Henley Men’s 4th XI moved to joint top of their league with an impressive home win against Bicester at Jubilee Park, maintaining an unbeaten start to the league season after four games. Starting strongly, Henley were soon ahead from a close range strike from Tim Cima, continuing where he’d left of with his brace the previous week in a 2-0 away win against Oxford. Tim then added two more to complete his hat trick within the first 8 minutes, Simon Taylor then added a 4th within 2 mins from a short corner and Henley were coasting at 4-0 after 10 minutes. The game then began to open up, Bicester creating several chances, before Jules Aplin finished off a flowing move to put Henley 5-0 to the good, Rupert Wiseman adding a 6th just before half time with a strong finish. As tends to happen, the second half began to get scrappy with both sides creating chances, Tim Cima took it upon himself to net a 4th 10 mins into the half, before Bicester’s pressure finally paid off via a short corner to take a deserved consolation goal. Jamie Furness wrapped up the scoring for Henley with a crisp shot from a characteristically acute angle to round off an impressive win and boost to the team’s goal difference.
