Lewes and Peacehaven have both been relegated – but they have gone down fighting.
The Rooks were officially relegated from Ryman premier following a 2-2 draw away to Kingstonian.
However, they went down battling after twice coming from behind, including a 90th-minute equaliser from Jordan Badger, to extend their unbeaten run to seven matches.
Jonte Smith had earlier cancelled out Kingstonian's opener.
Peacehaven, meanwhile, were relegated from Ryman south following a 4-2 defeat at home to champions Folkestone Invicta.
The Magpies twice led through Siao Blackwood and Ezekiel Bademosi and were in the game until the closing stages when Folkestone scored a fourth goal.
Elsewhere, Bognor lost 2-0 at Dulwich Hamlet in Ryman premier and Burgess Hill drew 0-0 at Billericay.
Worthing moved back up to fourth in Ryman south after Harvey Sparks and Steve Metcalf scored in a 2-1 win at Whyteleafe.
Hastings had to settle for a 1-1 draw at nine-man South Park while East Grinstead lost 1-0 to a late goal at Corinthian-Casuals and Three Bridges lost 4-1 at Carshalton.
