Centre Ric Van Zyl broke the deadlock when he shot through close to the scrum. Barry Reeves added the conversion, as he did with five of the Hawks' tries, and a penalty.

Further tries from Russell Osman and skipper Jeff Atkinson put Henley 24-6 ahead at half-time.

In the second half, the Hawks stretched away with two tries in the space of a minute through Nnamdi Obi and Osman's second after a brilliant passing move.

Launceston hit back with a try but Hawks had the last word with Reeves weaving his way over to take his match total to 18 points.
