Lewes welcomed Canvey Island to the Dripping Pan, seventh v ninth. The Rooks had lost their way a little, with only two wins from their previous ten, whilst the Gulls had been particularly effective on the road, five of their previous six away matches seeing three points head back to the Island. Three of the last four meetings between the sides had ended in away wins, but this one did not, as the Rooks took the points. An own goal gave the hosts an early lead, and on sixty six minutes Gianluca Botti made it two. Chris Harris quickly hit back for the visitors, but the majority of the eight hundred and sixty three went home happy, the Rooks back into the top five.
