Oxford Hawks Ladies struck local rivals Henley 4-3 in their opening friendly of the season.

Hawks went three goals ahead in the first half through a Hannah Williamson short corner and a goal each from Kelly Aldridge and Clare Edwards.

Edwards and two ex-Cambridge Blues, Libby Annelay and Rhiannon Meredith, have joined Hawks.

Henley replied before Hawks made it 4-1 through new captain Vicky Easton. The Oxford club conceded two more goals in the last ten minutes.
