Henley pip Cambridge in nine try thriller

Cambridge and Henley played out an entertaining match in the bright sunshine but bitter NE wind at Volac Park.

Both sides looked to move the ball early on and with the Cambridge scrummage showing early dominance, Jim Wigglesworth finished a 4 on 2 overlap in the Henley 22. After a lucky bounce from a kick charged down the Henley 10 had an easy run in to level. A Wigglesworth penalty took Cambridge back into the lead before an outstanding team try from Cambridge, started deep in their own territory and finished again by Wigglesworth took them further ahead 13-5. A long break while Corey Hircock received careful attention, was followed by a Henley driving maul to make the HT score 13-10. The second half started with a dramatic try after Steve Hipwell committed many Henley defenders and the ball was moved to James Stokes who made a break on halfway and with plenty in support put Tom Whiteley in for his debut try. 20-10  But Henley kept chipping away and scored again to make it 20-17. A harsh YC to Matthew Worrall-Clare gave Henley a penalty in front to level the scores and then they used their man advantage to stretch Cambridge with their prop going over in the corner. Back up to 15 men Cambridge found themselves defending a driving maul and were adjudged to have killed it illegally and a penalty try awarded. But Cambridge were not done and an amazing strong run from Joe Collingham put him under the posts from 40 metres to make it 27-32. There was still time for some chances to snatch victory at the end but Cambridge could not take them and Henley held out

James Penman was the St. Faiths 90/91 Year (all pictured) Man of the Match.
