At the Berrambool Oval on Saturday, the Bega-Angledale Bulls took to the crease first, but never fully gained traction.
The Bulls were within their final over when the last wicket fell, but the runs stood at just 142.
Fisher had been the main destroyer with the ball, taking four wickets, while Brayden MacDonald also bowled well to pick up two wickets on the day.
Fisher’s spat of wickets included a pair of ducks with a caught and bowled effort, while he also claimed a wicket from an lbw.
Bega-Angledale captain Robbie Ringland led his side’s batting efforts with a well-compiled 45 runs.
The Knights were unlucky to not pick another early wicket after a diving catch just slipped through a fielders fingers.
The middle order also provided a steady flow of runs, but the rate was a little lower than desired as the Knights piled on bowling pressure.
Joel Stewart was the second best for the visiting Bulls with his 20.
On the flipside, Merimbula proved troublesome to dislodge from the crease, only giving up four wickets in the hunt for the Bulls total.
Jacob McDonald had a strong open for the club to put on 25 runs before he was clean bowled by Jack Matthews.
Play perked up for the Bulls when John Dedman caught Scott Wright out on just five runs.
Charles Aggenbach was then caught for four runs by Robert Wilcox and things started to look positive for the Bulls.
However, a strong middle order stand saw the hope steadily slip away as the Knights neared the required runs.
Ash Postance was on an unbeaten 33, while Jeremy Fernando was nearing a half-century before he was run out.
Jacob put a very strong 25-run haul on the board and the Knights were nearing the target with plenty of time.
With the addition of 19 runs from Brayden, the Knights had edged Bega with six overs to spare.
This weekend will see the Knights at home to the Tathra Sea Eagles from 1pm on Saturday.
