Fisher drew for the first time in ten games as they were held 2-2 by Hollands & Blair in Rotherhithe last weekend.
Ajay Ashanike’s side were made to battle for their point as they twice had to come from behind in a fierce contest.
Harry Brown gave the visitors the lead with a third-minute penalty before Isaac Thompson levelled 37 minutes in, also from the spot.
The away side were back in front in the 62nd minute through Harvey Welford but once again Thompson was on the mark to make it 2-2 on 77 minutes.
After Malaki Coker gave away that early spot-kick, Billy Brown and Michael Sarpong were on the end of very poor challenges that could easily have been red cards. Sarpong needed treatment for a gash on his shin. The home bench were furious and two yellow cards were dished out to two of the substitutes.
Thompson got his eleventh goal of the season to level after handball but after the break Jacob Katonia appeared to be denied another spot-kick after being pushed in the back.
Sarpong was denied a goal when Dan Ellis produced a brilliant save to keep out his header from Brown’s cross.
It was all Fisher and this time when Ellis was beaten they were denied by the crossbar from Joseph Adewunmi’s volley from the edge of the area.
It seemed like it wouldn’t be Fisher’s day until striker Eni Amgbaduba won possession as the away defence was trying to shepherd the ball out of play. Amgbaduba found Thompson who cut in from the left and curled a low shot towards the far corner that Ellis got a touch to but couldn’t keep out.
