Match Preview

This week takes us on a potentially tricky trip to Henley who, having been concerned about a possible relegation threat only a few weeks ago, are now sitting pretty comfortably in 10th position and 16 points clear of the bottom three, courtesy of successive wins at Clifton and at home to Barnes and Canterbury. The report on their last game at Clifton doesn't really offer much insight to their form, since it was an error-prone affair that could have gone either way in difficult, blustery conditions. Henley scraped home by two points, thanks to a last-minute penalty miss by the home side and won by the same margin at home to Barnes the previous week courtesy of a successful kick of their own, right at the death. On such fine margins are games won and lost! One thing that did come out of the match report is that the driving maul from lineouts is still their strongest attacking weapon, so no careless penalties, boys!
