Pagham strolled into the second round of the Sussex Senior Cup with a 4-2 win at Arundel in a game that certainly had its moments.

Right from start the Lions got on top but wasted a couple of early chances. It was a real surprise when the referee awarded Arundel a disputed penalty for hand-ball in the 8th minute in one of Arundel’s rare attacks. Williams sent Lewis Boughton the wrong way to put the Mullets in front.

It took twenty minutes for Pagham to equalise, Grant Radmore finishing a good run and cross by Ryan Hallett. It was Radmore again on 39 minutes, drilling home a low 30 yard free-kick, before Jamie Carroll scored a third less than a minute later, collecting a pass from Jack Barnes and hitting his shot over the keeper and into the net.
