Fisher cruised to victory, to win local bragging rights in the Bermondsey derby against Stansfeld, thanks to a three goal salvo in the first half, at a sunbathed St Paul’s in front of a bumper bank holiday crowd. Fisher were able to ring the changes from Saturday’s win at champions Whitstable Town with Alex Kozak, Tom Jones, Festos Kamara, Conor Darwish and Michael Sarpong all coming back into the starting line up along with Peter Ojemen, making his second appearance of the season.
The game started brightly and it was Stansfeld who saw more of the early possession but Fisher’s slick passing and pacy attacking always looked the more likely to force an opening. So this proved in the eleventh minute when Jack Gibbons burst into the Stansfeld half and swung over a cross to the centre of the penalty area. Lorenzo Duncan, playing in a more advanced role, tried acrobatically to bring the ball down and whilst unsuccessful was able to nudge it into the path of Festos Kamara, who instinctively took a first time shot on the turn, curling the ball around Osman in the Stansfeld goal and inside the far post.
The goal sparked a spell of breathtaking attacking football form Fisher as Osman was forced to block two good low shot come crosses from Gibbons at the near post and Sarpong and Duncan denied by blocks in the resulting chaotic scramble. Duncan was again denied by a good block from the next attack and Tom Jones wriggled into the box with a good exchange of passes only to see is effort drift just wide as he opened up to find the far corner. Just before the half hour mark Jones was felled on the very edge of the area as he sought to turn his marker and whilst Fisher looked for a penalty the resulting free kick offered as good a scoring chance as Jones himself stepped up and fired the kick around the wall and beat Osman for power at the near post to double the lead.
Jones, Darwish and Kamara then both went close as Fisher started to pepper the goal with a stretched Stansfeld defence struggling to contain the wave of attacks. It was not a surprise when Fisher added a third as Alex Kozak scored a fine individual goal cutting in on the right and then firing left footed out of the reach of Osman from twenty five yards out. Adejola Lahan then saw a header pass just wide of the post as he rose to meet a Jones free kick and Kozak fired over as Fisher went into the break knowing the three nil lead could quite easily have been double that.
The second spell, understandably under the warm sun, saw Fisher ease off the gas, playing a more patient possession game, and creditably Stansfeld showed better intent and fight. Whilst keeping the ball Fisher stopped breaking the lines as they had in the first half and the passing was often to static players rather than runners, so whilst easy on the eye lacked threat and goal scoring chances were fewer. Jones should have made more when sent clean through finding neither the target nor the well placed Kozak and Kamara headed wise when a nod back to a well-placed Duncan may have been more profitable, though when a great chance did fall to the twenty two goal Duncan, his powerful header from close range was just over the bar. Fisher brought on all five substitutes which broke up the later stages of the game, easing the pressure on Stansfeld, and with ten minutes to play they reduced the arrears when Jack Calvert twisted to make space on the right and fired a thunderous shot into the near top corner. Fisher appeared to always have another gear to go up to if needed and within five mutes had restored the three goal cushion as Duncan’s industry down the right saw him get free and square for Armani Jordan Martin to fire home low and hard to the keeper’s right and wrap up the victory.
The win puts Fisher in touching distance of confirming a play-off spot but they will be all out to secure hone advantage by finishing as high as they can. Unfortunately for Stansfeld the defeat rubber stamped relegation. meaning no Bermondsey derby for a season or two unless cup draws pair the two historically Bermondsey based sides.
