Henley Men's 2 ran out 6-3 winners over Oxford Hawks Men's 4 in South Central Division 2 North, in an entertaining fixture.

The visitors started brightly, dominating the midfield and going 2-0 up inside the first 20 minutes to surprise the hosts.

Henley however, showed great character to get back into the game. Tim Herbert, continuing his good form, tucked away a deflected corner to kick-start the comeback, followed by two from Nico Jean-Jean to complete the turnaround with goals following some good interplay in the D to give Henley a 3-2 half-time lead.

After half time, Captain Will Beaumont made it 4-2, scoring from a cut-back by Herbert following a fine run along the baseline. George Farthing added another penalty-corner flick, and young Edward Cary was rewarded with a goal from open play after a great individual display under pressure in tight spaces.

Oxford Hawks kept Henley on their toes with a second half goal, but couldn't mount a comeback of the same strength Henley had shown. Henley remain top of the league, with an away trip to Reading next week.
