Mark Cullen bagged his first hat-trick for Luton as they made it six straight wins with a 3-1 success over Dagenham & Redbridge.
The forward netted twice in the space of a minute before half time, while he rifled his third of the game midway through the second period. A desperately poor first half saw the Daggers threaten through Jamie Cureton, with the veteran striker sending one effort narrowly wide and another at goalkeeper Mark Tyler. Town took the lead after 43 minutes when Andy Drury dinked over a wonderful cross from the by-line and Cullen leapt highest to nod past Mark Cousins. Within 60 seconds it was 2-0 as Cullen raced on to Michael Harriman's through ball and rounded Cousins to slot home. In the second half, Pelly Ruddock crossed for Cullen to rifle in his third and complete his hat-trick after 68 minutes as he slammed high into the net. Jonathan Smith then hit a post, while Nathan Doyle was denied superbly by Cousins as Daggers substitute Christian Doidge thumped home a late headed consolation goal.
