A goal either side of half-time ensured Mullets finally put a stop to Wick's three-match winning streak, and left them lost in the mist at Mill Road.

In an important game for both sides, the hosts dominated possession and never looked likely to concede. Manager, Vic Short was impressed with his side's performance. He said: "It was our biggest game this season '” it was our first local derby, so we had to perform that bit better and I feel we did."

Wick failed to take a hold on the game, and did not appear to gel in the same manner as Arundel. Short added: "We're getting to be a settled team now. We know we can be a good side."

Some slick passing movements left the visitors chasing shadows at times. Lee Barnard and Mike Huckett often combined cleverly on the right flank, but it was only after some sloppy defending that Arundel took the lead on 35 minutes. Mike Huckett picked up a loose ball to slot past Wes Hallet from 10 yards.
