Arundel all set for cup tie with Albion
It is a mouth-watering tie, but also a tough clash for the Mullets, against Albion’s development squad, who are the cup holders.
The Seagulls received a bye into the second round, while the Mullets beat Hailsham Town 4-2 in the opening round.

“One thing I do know is we’ll get 100 per cent commitment from the players. The attitude has been good all season, even through our bad run and they will give 100 per cent for the club.
“It’s a nice headache for myself and Craig (Stuart) to have as all the players are buzzing to be selected. We have a squad of 24 and we need to get that down, so there will be disappointment along the way.”
Mullets are away to Hassocks in County League Division 1 on Saturday, which will be their first match since November 2.
