Sevenoaks Rugby 13 – 29 Henley Hawks RFC

Henley Hawks enjoyed a quality win over Sevenoaks Rugby on Saturday 30 Sept at Knole Paddock. Oak pushed the visitors during the first two thirds of the match before the solid performance on the road by Hawks saw them home. Hawks had pressed hard onto the Sevenoaks line during the first half and the 6-12 advantage to Henley at the break was capitalised on in the second half as Hawks cut loose with some quality ball in hand play.

Oaks opened the scoring through the trusty boot of Ben Adams but the 3-0 ascendancy was cancelled out shortly thereafter through a pushover try by Henley as Omar Ellabody charged over the line and Max Titchener slotted the extras. The same trick was repeated fifteen minutes later, as the Hawks catch and drive from the lineout resulted in Will Benning ending up at the bottom of the pile. Adams having slotted a penalty for Oak in between those tries and a huge amount of defending by Oaks in midfield managing to keep Hawks at bay as they pressed during the final salvos of the first half.

Hawks got the opening score of the second half through a Tictchener pen and then found a lot of fluidity with ball in hand. The field position they established saw Adam Hakimian scythe through the Oaks breakdown for a try that Titchener converted. Neil Wood then dived out for Hawks following a move up the right flank. Oaks had their chances to peg Hawks back and a well-worked try that Barney Stone secured for Oaks was converted by Ben Adams before the final score of the match by Hawks’ Tom Emery.
