Title-chasing Lewes will be without five defenders for tonight's trip to third-placed Dulwich Hamlet in division one south.

Steve Causon, who signed on loan from Crawley last week, suffered ankle ligament damage when jumping over an advertising board to retrieve a ball during Saturday's 2-1 win over Met Police and faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines.

With Marc Cable, Joe Vines, Tony Chin and Justin Harris also out, the Rooks are likely to have teenagers Gary Elphick, on work experience from Albion, and Steve Metcalf in an inexperienced back three alongside Jay Lovett.
