Lewes's "home" match against Sheppey had to be played at Brighton RFC, following Police advice in the light of the Lewes Bonfire Night celebrations.
In spite of having to play at a neutral venue, Lewes's fine form of recent weeks continued as they overwhelmed their visitors from Kent with a 50 - 28 bonus-point win which keeps them in equal-fourth spot in the League table. Scorers were

Although scoring tries at will, and with new signings in both the forwards and backs, Lewes conceded several soft points, and Player-Coach Mike Stubbs hopes to stiffen up the defence in time for their next match, which is not now until 19th. November - a crunch away clash with near-neighbours and higher-placed Haywards Heath, k.o. 2.30pm.
