The visitors displayed the better skills in the conditions and have maintained their position inside the Hume Football League top six with four rounds remaining.
Apart from two Josh Gaynor goals in the second term, Henty did not score another goal to match its total the previous round against CDHBU.
Sam Rutland continued his good form since his return for Osborne, while Will Ryan, Andrew Johnston and Jacob Chant revelled in the heavy going.
Holbrook registered its best win for the season with a comfortable 43-point win over Rand Walbundrie Walla at Holbrook.
With over 70 per cent of the ground very boggy, the young Brookers’ enthusiasm for the contest prevailed in the conditions.
Tyson Neander was superb for Holbrook against his old club kicking five goals in a classy display.
Spencer thrived in his new role as ruckman for the Brookers.
Good players were limited for the Giants with Charlie Williams, Tom Plunkett and Brian Lieschke the best of a disappointing effort in the heavy going.
Lachlan Trethowan capped off a terrific game with two goals, while Brad Carman, Andrew Mackinlay and the diminutive Will Holmes stood out.
Brock Burrum Saints despite some inaccuracy in front of goal kept its unbeaten season on track with an eight point win at Burrumbuttock over CDHBU.
The Saints stunned the visitors in the first quarter when they kicked four goals to one and then increased the lead to 26 points by half-time.
CDHBU mounted a terrific fight back to add five second half goals to the Saints two to fall just short in a slogging encounter.
Brock Burrum went into the match with out star onballer Luke Schilg and forward Kylin Morey who injured his back midweek at training.
Murray Magpies have taken a strong hold on second place after they outslugged Jindera in extremely heavy conditions at Urana Road.
The Magpies, who had coach Josh Maher player points reinstated during the week, put behind the controversy to win by 16 points.
The Hume Football League was not satisfied that Maher was coaching alone with former coach Corey Lambert coming under the attention of officials and rival clubs with his involvement.
Lambert had stepped aside mid season for Maher to take on the coaching and in doing so lose his player points – as coaches do not attract points.
Magpies have appealed the decision – putting the player points system strategy and allocation under huge scrutiny.
Howlong recorded one of its best wins for the season when they hammered a disappointing Lockhart by 75 points at Howlong.
After Lockhart competed strongly in the first term, the Spiders completely took over in the last three to move into fourth place.
Clint Shields kicked three goals for Lockhart and Andrew Emery was solid as the Spiders led by youngster Ben Baker dominated.
Billabong Crows kept alive their faint finals hopes with a 13-point win over Culcairn at Urana.
The Crows sit one game and 20 per cent behind sixth placed Osborne.
Fielding one of its strongest sides for three months the Crows overcame a half time deadlock to run out impressive winners.
Will Haberecht played his best game since joining the club this year and Angus Bourchier booted three goals.
The Lions had a forward winner in Trent Perczyk with four goals. Hayden Hamilton, Simon McLeish, Brendan Way and Drew Mortlock were other to play well.
Tonight will see the second Hume Football League Hall of Fame with five new inductees being honoured at the Commercial Club in Albury.
