Fisher snatched a late injury time equaliser to claim a point at Chislehurst Glebe having twice been behind in an entertaining game.
Early season injuries deprived the side of the services of Festos Kamara and James Bessey Saldanha though Jack Gibbons had recovered from his injury sufficiently to take a place on the bench and Tyron Mbuenimo was back in midfield.

Fisher got off to the worst possible start as just four minutes in Jamie Phillpot was given too much space from a free kick sent in from the left and planted his header in the back of the net. Fisher looked to respond and earned a corner from a well worked free kick that then saw an excellent save from Penney to keep out Euan Mutale’s header. At the other end it took a smart save from Zach Akinde to stop the hosts doubling their lead.

Shortly before the break Aaron Archibald was forced off with a bad cut with Jake Lovell coming on amidst a defensive reshuffle.

Fisher started the second half on the front foot searching for the equaliser, but it took a change of shape on the hour mark before their efforts looked set to earn a reward. Michael Sarpong came on to bolster the midfield and Mekhi Clarke added more pace and power on the flank. The switch paid off inside five minutes as Alex Kozak was freed down the left and his low delivery found its way to Temi Alaka arriving unmarked at the back post who steered the ball home. Fisher pushed for the lead and Clarke drew another good save from Penney from a thunderous shot.

The hosts fought back though and within ten minutes regained the lead as Phillpot was sent clear and duly converted.

Fisher refused to leave the game empty handed and battled hard to find a second equaliser. A huge shout for handball was waved away and it looked like they may fall short, but in the second minute of added time Jack Gibbons recycled a hasty clearance and sent over a peach of a cross that saw Euan Mutale time his run superbly to throw himself acrobatically at the ball and squeeze his diving header in at the back post to level at the death and earn Fisher a share of the points.
