Purton 5, Marlborough 0: Hellenic league Purton proved a shade too strong for their Wilts League visitors Marlborough Town, running out 5-0 winners.

Purton were soon into their stride and took the lead after just three minutes when Jimmy Wright found Richard Watkins with a neat chip and the striker ran on to score from 12 yards.

They went further ahead on ten minutes when a good run and cross from Chris Ayres down the left flank was converted by Jimmy Wright.

Purton were then guilty of squandering a couple of good chances, both Watkins and Wright should have added to the Purton score.

The visitors were then allowed back into the game by some indifferent Purton passing and Chris Ayres saved the day for the Red House side clearing off the line with the keeper beaten. Marlborough continued to have the edge and went close with another couple of good efforts before the break.

After the interval Purton got back into their stride and scored a third on 57 minutes, a defence splitting pass from Mickey Heath found Arron Crumbie who slipped past two defenders to score.

Jimmy Wright then set up Mickey Heath on 78 minutes, Heath running clear to score a fourth with a clinical finish.

Wright was once again the provider seven minutes later finding Johnny Coole with a good ball, the youngster scoring a fifth on his first team debut after coming on as a late sub. Purton's Scott Crumbie, the captain for the day, had an excellent game in defence for his side.
