Non-League Day win needed as Lewes look to inch towards Isthmian premier safety
Lewes will be looking to save their season as they host Canvey Island on National League Day on Saturday.
The Rooks sit seven points above the drop zone after a 4-1 defeat at Dartford last Saturday.
They conceded in the first minute and were 2-0 down just after the ten-minute mark.
Lewes got back into it via Devonte West, his ninth goal this season, and they could have equalised if not for a great save by Jonny Henly.
However, Dartford stretched their lead 15 minutes later through Denzelle Olopade and confirmed three points quickly after as the travelling side were condemned to another defeat.
The defeat in Kent means it is now five games without a win on the road for Lewes, and one win in their last ten matches.
Lewes have six games remaining in their season, with three games against sides currently below them in the table – Canvey, Potters Bar Town and Wingate & Finchley.
Craig Nelson’s side will see this weekend as an opportunity to turn their fortunes around.
Easter then brings a trip to Potters Bar and a visit from Whitehawk.
