Now he is hoping his side to keep their run going when they head to the home of the reigning champions, Merthyr, this weekend for another mighty test. A win at The Wern could move them up int o the top half of the table.
What Fisher doesn’t want is a similar scare to that which he and his coaching team were put through at Parc Y Scarlets last weekend.
Ravens skipper Nathan Edwards picked up a yellow card five minutes from time and then had to sit through the agony of seeing his side lose to a last minute try. Llanelli had a kickable penalty in the dying moments that would have allowed them to draw level at 26-26, but instead kicked to the corner.
Edwards picked up his card for tapping the arm of the Llanelli scrum half at a ruck with his side leading 26-23. With a one man advantage, Llanelli set up a close range line-out and drove prop Alex Jeffries over the line.
Ashley Sutton stepped up to add the extras to deliver the knock-out blow. Llanelli moved up into seventh place in the table and are now 11 points clear of Bridgend at the bottom.
“We dominated territory and possession, but the quality of the game wasn’t very high. I felt sorry for Bridgend because they could so easily have won it,” said Llanelli head coach, Fisher.
“We definitely played one of our get out of gaol cards and it was a ballsy decision to kick for the line-out to try to win the game rather than kick the penalty to take the draw.”
Jacob Lewis, following in the footsteps of his famous father, Emyr, opened the scoring for the home side in the first minute and Sutton converted. Bridgend scrum half Chris Williams, celebrating his 150th game for the Ravens, then scampered over for a try that Owen Howe improved.
Howe added three first-half penalties to one from Sutton and Bridgend led 16-10 at the break. Llanelli took the lead in the third quarter with two more Sutton penalties and a driving line-out try from hooker Dafydd Hughes that Sutton converted.
The Ravens fought back with two more Howe penalties and then a try by Jamie Murphy after a spilled kick. Howe’s conversion made it 26-23 with 10 minutes to go before the yellow card and the last minute try.
