Mullets, who went top of County League Division 1 on Saturday with a 4-1 crushing of Lancing, were sunk by a 67th-minute strike from Matt Wood. Scott Tipper also spurned the chance to level soon after as his spot-kick was saved by the Selsey goalkeeper. Torode said: “We did not really play that well and never got going. You have got to give them a bit of credit, they worked hard and stopped us playing. The chances were about even, but they edged the game. “It was a case of After the Lord Mayor’s Show, really, what with going top of the league on Saturday, people want to beat you.” Arundel travel to Eastbourne United on Saturday in the second qualifying round of the FA Vase.
