LONG TRIP FOR NO REWARD

With one of their longest away trips of the season - and in difficult conditions - it was no surprise that an under-par Lewes side went down to their Kentish opponents, scoring only 1 unconverted try in the process via No. 8, Luke Robinson. Head Coach James Halpin blamed his side's defeat on playing the wrong type of rugby for the heavy conditions which more suited Folkestone's game .
Lewes will have to up their performance levels when they entertain close rivals Old Williamsonians on Saturday, k.o. 2.00pm.

Lewes 2nd's fared little better in their home derby against Hellingly, losing 15 - 10 but at least gained a valuable losing bonus point. Lewes's 2 tries were scored by Dan Billin and Owen Stranger. (0ne ray of hope for a Club ravaged by injuries this season was the return after a long lay-off of influential front-rower Alfie Hill - pictured - who hopes to return to first-team rugby in the New Year).
