Adam Priestley stole the headlines with a double on his return home, while Mark Simpson and Curtly Martin-Wyatt added to their pre-season tallies.
Priestley fired Town into a two goal lead, but Patrick Thomas and Josh Shields made sure the teams went in level at half time.
A great bit of finishing by Simpson and a header by Curtly restored the two goal cushion, but Shields and then Joe Jagger scored to end another entertaining game between these side with honours even.
