Henley Hawks overcame a dogged Sevenoaks at Dry Leas claiming a bonus point win in a game that was full of unforced errors.

The Hawks opened the scoring with a penalty try after two driving mauls were stopped illegally by the visitors for which they received the first of three yellow cards.

The Hawks took advantage of the extra man and scored two tries in quick succession. First, after some good work from Max Titchener and Morgan Macrae, Ewan Fenley took a quick penalty and scored the try which Titchener converted. Shortly afterwards, a good turnover from the Hawks enabled Fenley to launch the ball deep into Sevenoaks territory. A kick was charged down and the ball reached Cail Cookland who found a gap in the defence to score. Titchener again converted.

The second half began with the visitors capitalising on the Hawks' ill discipline. James Simmons picked up a loose ball and crashed over. Ben Adams converted.

Centre Elliot Munnelly then found the gap to crash over. Adams again converted. After numerous errors George Wood showed speed to score the bonus point try for the Hawks. Titchener converted.
