A foggy start greeted Henley Women’s 2s as they welcomed Windsor 1s for a home fixture over Remembrance weekend. Before pushback, both teams observed a respectful two-minute silence.

Henley started strongly and soon found their rhythm and a first goal which was a fantastic example of teamwork. Bea Watts received a lovely ball from midfield before racing down the right wing, driving along the baseline and into the D. With a perfectly timed pass across goal, she found Bethan Lewis, who swept the ball first time into the back of the net. A brilliant finish to a superb attacking move!

Henley then doubled their lead with a short corner. Chloe Lyons stepped up and unleashed an absolute bullet of a straight strike, giving the Windsor defence little chance.

The third goal came once again from the hands of Lyons, who picked up the ball and embarked on a fantastic solo dribble into the D, weaving around several Windsor defenders before producing a clever reverse-stick scoop over the keeper and into the net.

But Henley weren't finished there. The fourth goal came from another short corner. This time it was Rachel Herbert who stepped up to deliver a powerful straight strike, firing the ball into the back of the net to make it four.

At the other end, Georgie Grocock, in goal and her defensive unit continued to work hard to keep Windsor at bay. The away side did achieve some short corner opportunities, however they were unable to convert. Eventually one move did find the net with a strike from inside the D in the 65th minute. However, Despite Windsor's late goal, Henley had done more than enough to secure a well-deserved 4–1 home victory.

It was a fantastic all-round squad performance, with the midfield working tirelessly to win and distribute possession, the forwards creating plenty of attacking opportunities and the defence providing a strong foundation at the back - the whole team contributed to a brilliant team result!

? Champagne Moment: There was plenty to choose from this week! Bea and Bethan’s opening goal took the honours for its fantastic link-up play and teamwork, closely followed by Chloe's brilliant individual third goal and Rachel’s straight strike short corner.
A brilliant performance from the whole squad. Four goals, plenty of quality hockey and a well-deserved win. Well played, ladies!
