Clanfield raced into a 3-0 lead in Saturday's Hellenic League Division 1 West game, before Purton made it a tense finish with two late strikes on Saturday With young debutant Gary Simmonds impressing, Clanfield took the lead when Ashley Johnson bulleted home a header from Tim Jenkins's free-kick After having strong penalty appeals turned down, Eddie Everett's powerful strike made it 2-0 following good work by Tim Jenkins and Dean Barker.
Despite losing skipper Chris Benson at half-time with a knee injury, Clanfield stretched their lead through Steve Knight.
Marcus Hall immediately replied for Purton, who scored again through Warren Fuller three minutes from time.
