Howe is on loan from Peterborough United

First-half goals from Rene Howe and Justin Miller handed Rushden & Diamonds an away win over Eastbourne.

In the first-half, there were only three efforts on goal in total, but two of them resulted in goals for Diamonds.

Howe smashed home from 20 yards to give them the lead and Miller doubled their advantage, getting on the end of a Matt Johnson cross to head home.

Boro's Matt Crabb and Jamie Taylor went close in the second half but Rushden protected their lead with ease.
