Just a minute or so of the 90 remained against Cray Valley PM at The Sportsfield when Josh Short pounced to break the deadlock – and earned Golds all three points.
Cray Valley had been trying to hold out with ten men after the sending-off of Julien Anau with 14 minutes left.
The win leaves Littlehampton eighth in the table, just two points off the play-off places.
