National 2 South
HENLEY Hawks slipped to fifth in the table after a 17-7 home defeat to Old Albanians and lost hooker Ed Church to a serious neck injury in the second half.
Hawks took the lead on 13 minutes when wing Christoph Bart streaked away to score after fly half James Comben’s kick had been charged down.
Comben converted the try for 7-0 and Henley’s pack held sway.
Albanians drew level on the half-hour with a try by wing Ollie Marchon, converted by full back Richard Gregg.
Gregg slotted a penalty on 55 minutes, but the momentum really changed after Church was stretchered off.
A break from centre Terry Adams on 73 minutes took him past the Hawks defence and Gregg converted for 17-7.
