Henley Men’s 1st XI made it four matches unbeaten in a row as they beat Basingstoke Men’s 1st XI 5-2 at Jubilee Park last Saturday.

In a match which they controlled from the outset, Henley went 2-0 up early in the first quarter, with goals from Phil Laurie and Andrew Siemann. The away side pulled a goal back in the second quarter, but Henley retained their two-goal lead on the stroke of half-time with a penalty corner goal from captain Ed Foster.

The second half was played in a similar fashion to the first, with Henley dominating proceedings, creating chances at will. The amber and blues were rewarded with two further goals in quarter three from Sam Heaver and Chris Green, both converting well-worked penalty corner routines.

With five minutes left to play, Basingstoke pulled a consolation goal back, but Henley ran away deserved 5-2 winners in the end, moving them up to fifth place in the South Central Premier League table.
