Lewes return to Stoke tomorrow knowing another top shelf performance is necessary.
The Rooks turned in an impressive display when losing to Stoke City in the first round of the FA Cup in November.
Now they must play equally well to beat North West Counties League title hopefuls Kidsgrove Athletic in the last 32 of the FA Vase.
Kidsgrove have won 13-0 and 6-0 over the last six days and Lewes boss Jimmy Quinn knows the size of the task facing his team at the picturesque Clough Hall ground tomorrow.
Quinn said: "We have done reasonably well in the Vase up to now but there are only a few poor teams left in it at this stage. You have got to play one of the big boys sooner or later and we have drawn one of them."
Kidsgrove, who lost in the semi-finals of the Vase to Tiverton Town four years ago, include a few former professionals including midfielder Steve Walters (ex-Crewe), Bradley Sandeman (ex-Port Vale and Northampton) and Peter Holcroft (ex-Swindon and Everton).
