HENLEY Hawks Women overturned a first-half deficit in a superb second-half performance to secure a thrilling Championship South Division 1 home victory against Bath last Sunday. On a greasy afternoon at Dry Leas, Bath quickly made it clear they were intent on keeping Henley pinned back. Henley’s scrum became increasingly dominant, repeatedly forcing Bath backwards and winning crucial penalties. From sustained pressure early in the second half, Shira Kilgallon powered over for Henley’s first try, levelling the contest. Building off another scrum, the Hawks worked patiently before Hermine Titcombe crossed for the second try, this time converted by Faye Stratford, pushing Henley into the lead.
