Henley Men’s 4s got back to winning ways with a 4-0 home win against South Berks 5s. They began the match strongly, dominating the first 15 minutes with their midfield and forward line keeping the visitors under continued pressure. This led to a series of short corners, the second of which was converted by Mike Woolfrey. Calm interplay with midfielder Jody Measures created a clear shooting chance, which Woolfrey calmly slotted past the keeper. Further pressure wasn’t converted however, and Henley then started to make poor choices, putting themselves under unnecessary pressure. A poor clearance just before half time led to a short corner for the visitors. However, young keeper, Alex Woolfrey once again showed his quality, with his reflex save meaning Henley went into the break 1-0 up.

Henley started the second half showing much more composure and Ian Rechner soon scored his first, calmly creating space for himself and pushing the ball past the keeper. His second, once again resulted from Rechner creating space, this time at the top of the Circle, before hitting a shot into the bottom corner to take Henley 3-0 ahead. Henley’s fourth came from the ever dangerous Ollie Paice, who scored his second goal in two games with 10 minutes to go.

Whilst South Berks kept pushing to the end, the Henley defence held out, securing a well deserved clean sheet.
