BEN Purdue scored twice to help his side to a fifth win in six matches.

He netted either side of a Jonny Edwards strike to seal a comfortable victory.

It was a win made sweeter by the fact that manager Terry Murphy could name only 11 players due to absences through injury and unavailability.

Front runner Mike Brandon filled in at the heart of the defence, leaving Purdue and fellow newcomer John Hurst to lead the attack.

Another promoted from Mick Duckett's reserve side, Simon Robinson, made his first team debut at full back.

The win leaves Town second in the standings behind early pacesetters Greenalls PSO, 5-2 victors at Barnton.
