Corinthian-Casuals |
Fisher Athletic |
On a hot sultry afternoon at Tolworth, Fisher started at the gallop and after only five minutes Casuals found themselves two goals down from two poorly defended corners. Fisher's quick passing put Casuals on the back foot and the differences of the visitors being two divisions higher was apparent. The game was all but decided when Fisher added a third goal on 15 minutes after a misunderstanding between Martin Dunne and Ben Ward. Casuals began to settle down and Luke Edghill shot was just wide with a low effort, before Casuals won their first corner on 42 minutes, but with this was met with no success. On the stroke of half time, Fisher keeper Simon Overland made a fine save from Edghill.
In the second half Tom Jelley fired just over the bar, as Casuals began playing with confidence. Mark Towse was next to have shot at goal, but this went narrowly wide. Casuals best effort came on the hour when Edghill hit the bar with a fierce shot. With ten minutes remaining Casuals saw a free-kick saved by Overland, but they could not find the net. A vastly improved second half performance, gives Casuals hope for the season against such a strong side as Fisher.
