Wick win fifth successive match

The success keeps them in fourth place, although fifth-placed Arundel suffered a surprise 4-2 defeat at home to Eastbourne UA.

First-half goals from Wick's Tom Manton and Paul Elliott sandwiched former Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Geoff Pitcher's penalty for Rangers.

At Mill Road, Ashley Martin equalised for Arundel in the first half, before Dave Walker later made the score 3-2.

Third-placed East Preston did not have a game and are now four points ahead of Wick. Both teams have four games left. Mullets are nine points behind EP with two matches in hand.

In Division 2, Rustington moved back into second place with a 1-0 win over Westfield. Adam Bibb struck the only goal on 17 minutes.

They moved back ahead of Mile Oak, who drew 1-1 at home to Littlehampton. Former Wick striker Danny Curd fired Oak into a 64th-minute lead, but Luke Barber equalised for Golds five minutes later.
