Casuals produced a steady performance to beat a relatively strong Fisher side. Despite a sloppy opening five minutes, Casuals looked to have eased themselves back into the game and created a number of chances including a Chris Horwood header which flew wide.
Disaster struck on 12 and 14 minutes as Casuals conceded two quick goals as a repeat of the previous meetings result looked on the cards, but the amateurs fought back. On 36 minutes Joe Nwoko fired home following a melee and then moments before half time Tyrone Myton's corner was headed home again by Nwoko for the equaliser.
The second half was played at a fast pace and was certainly one of the more entertaining friendly's to watch. The only goal of this period came in the 90th minute when Joe Funicello hit a 30 yard wonder goal which flew over the stranded ex Millwall keeper in Fisher's goal.
