Henry later stood in four first-class fixtures spread over the 2004 and 2005 Intercontinental Cup's, officiating in his final first-class fixture when Canada played the Cayman Islands.[1] In the 2005 ICC Trophy, Henry stood in 15 matches during the tournament.[2] He officiated in his first List A match, which was between Cambridgeshire and the Warwickshire Cricket Board in the 2nd round of the 2002 Cheltenham & Gloucester Trophy which was played in 2001. He later stood in 8 further List A matches between 2002 and 2005. Henry's final List A match officiating as an on-field umpire came in the 2005 ICC Trophy when he stood in a match between Oman and the United States.[3]
