Barney Boutwood bagged the only goal of the game early in the second half as Mullets picked up their third win from five league games this season.

Arundel boss Simon Butler was delighted as his side collected all three points and said: “If you had offered me a point before the game, I would have taken it.

“So to come away with all three is a great effort from the lads.

“I’m really pleased with our discipline and how we are playing at the moment.”

It was Arundel who had the first real chance as Boutwood tried to lob the Broadbridge keeper but his effort failed to find the target.

Mullets keeper James Fernandes then pulled off a fine finger-tip save five minutes into the second half to keep the scores level.
