Fisher make it a double

'We made it a little difficult for ourselves,' said coach Mike Davies, 'but we always play a fluid game so can be prone to errors.'

Gravesend made a game of it but the writing was on the wall when Fisher took a 22-5 half time lead. Chris Boon cancelled out Brian Williams' opening try for the home side but after 15 minutes, wing Thomas Casey made it 10-5. Within minutes Daniel Pratt dived over for the first of ahat-trick, following up with the conversion.

The first of two Dan Leidecker tries established the half time advantage but Gravesend hit back with an Alex Buller try. Daniel Snadden replied for Fisher but Gravesend, despite having a second player sin-binned, would not give up and scored again through Steve Haydon.

Back came Fisher with second touchdowns from Leidecker and Pratt before Gravesend hooker James Millett went over. But Pratt was not finished, completing his hat-trick just before the final whistle and converting to take his personal tally to 21 points.
