The Swans held their opponents to 136 and chased down the total thanks to half-centuries from David Williams and Trent I’Anson.
The loss cost Henty a spot in the top-six after TRYC and Culcairn went down in their respective matches.
“It was a good effort by the boys,” Williams said.
“Everyone bowled really tight.
“We’ve got a young side so it’s good to go into Christmas with a win under our belt.”
Tim Doherty was the pick of the bowlers, taking 3-33, while youngster Tom Newton batted well to make 59 for Henty.
Walla defeated Culcairn by eight wickets.
The Lions lost key batsmen Vince Chaffey (four) and Steve Brand (19) early and could only muster 125.
It was never going to be enough with Walla’s Tom Simmons (43 not out) and Chris Hutchinson (41 not out) chasing down the target in just 28 overs.
Cooper Walsh picked up four late wickets to help Holbrook to a 15-run victory over TRYC.
The ladder leader looked in trouble after making only 129, but Walsh (4-16), Andrew Mackinlay (3-25) and Will Heriot (2-26) came to the rescue with the ball.
Ben Willis made 22 for TRYC while Todd Hannam chipped in with 21.
