Arundel had suffered a 4-0 league defeat at Lancing on Saturday but bounced back away to division-lower Storrington on Tuesday.

Scott Tipper headed Mullets into the lead from a Lloyd Walker free kick on ten minutes but the hosts levelled just six minutes later when Harry Jarrett scored after James Fernandes had saved a free kick.

Arundel responded straight away, though, and were back ahead inside a minute. Dan Heward ran forward from defence, combined with Barney Boutwood, and then fired home from 18 yards for his first goal for the club.

Tipper, Boutwood and Rory Biggs all had chances to extend Mullets’ lead, before they made it 3-1 on the stroke of half-time. Jordan Clark was fouled in the penalty area and Tipper scored from the spot.

Swans pulled a goal back through a Iain Jarvie free kick on 70 minutes. but Mullets got a fourth just two minutes later. Boutwood closed down the Storrington keeper, won the ball and then shot home past two covering home defenders.

Butler said: “Off the back of the weekend’s performance, it was a good performance. We had chance after chance and could have scored more than four.”

ARUNDEL: Fernandes; N.Da Costa, Bibb, L.Walker, Heward, Mannings; Clark, Grove, R.Biggs; Tipper, Boutwood. Subs: L.Da Costa (Heward 60), Herbert (Mannings 80), Backler (Clark 85).
