Old Albanians………. 8

Henley outside-half Max Titchener scored 17 points as the Hawks comfortably overcame Old Albanians to claim a bonus-point victory.

The Hawks opened the scoring with a Titchener penalty before an Old Boys cross-kick was collected by Jordan Evans to score.

The Henley loose forwards then began to dominate. with Morgan Macrae in good form.

A Hawks attack saw scrum-half William Crow dart through for the first of his two tries which Titchener converted. A further penalty from Titchener gave the Hawks a 13-8 lead at the break.

The Hawks produced a totally committed perfor mance in the second half and played some of their best rugby of the season as the forwards again dominated.

A run from George Wood set up the Hawks on the Old Boys line and Crow crossed for the try. With Tom Vooght dominating the breakdown, Henley then scored the try of the match.

A good run from Ryan Crowley saw some excellent handling before Zac Taylor threw an audacious dummy to score. Titchener again converted.

Titchener then finished a fine after noon when he pounced on a poor clearance kick to scamper over for the Hawks’ bonus-point try. He converted his own try to seal the victory.
