01:44Good evening and welcome back to Woodstock

01:46Birchdale Town have just pulled off

01:48Fantastic

01:50I think we're all smiling

01:52Penalties

01:54Jay, can I just get your instant reaction

01:56First time I think in my life I've been stumped for words really

02:00Sheer joy

02:02Proud

02:04Elated

02:06Yeah, I speak a single word to sort of express how I'm feeling at the moment

02:10But one thing I do need to say is that those boys have been absolutely fantastic

02:15The whole season

02:17To win the playoffs the way we've won against Margate and against Sittingbourne

02:20Two very strong teams

02:22Well, yeah, I can't be proud of them

02:25I can't be proud of them

02:26They've done a fantastic job and that

02:28And as I said they've made me a very happy man

02:30And they've made Gary a very happy man as well

02:32They ran through brick walls for you tonight, didn't they?

02:34They did

02:35They did, yeah

02:38I suppose you're now going to get home somehow

02:41Yeah, I'll be on the coach

02:43Car's parked at the club

02:44So I'm pretty sure I'll be enjoying a few beers on the coach

02:47A few songs will be sung I would imagine

02:49Yeah

02:50And I still think it'll take a while for this to sink in

02:53To really what it is

02:54But yeah, step three, here we come

02:56Happy days

02:57Well done Jay, it was a fantastic night for the club

02:59I know it's not going to sink in for any of us until a couple of days

03:02Even three or four days

03:03It's going to make for some party, isn't it?

03:06Yeah, I'm looking forward to the presentation evening already

03:09Yeah

03:10We might still be partying from now until then anyway

03:12But yeah, I'm massively elated

03:15Good

03:16And as I said I'm a very proud manager at the moment

03:19And Gaz and I have worked our socks off this year

03:23With Bubz and Lewis and Chloe

03:27And those guys have come through for us today

03:29And it's nice to see the hard work pay off

03:31And they deserve every applaud that they get as well

03:33Excellent

03:34Well, I'll let you go

03:35Thank you very much for talking to me

03:36Go and enjoy it

03:37Thank you

03:38Good evening and welcome back to Woodstock

03:41Birdsteel Town have just pulled off a miraculous penalty shootout

03:46Ishmael South East playoff final win here at City Board down at Swale

03:51I've got Gary Manson with joint manager at Birdsteel

03:54Gary, first of all, that was a very exciting evening for the fans behind that goal over there

04:00And I'm sure it was a very exciting evening for you in the dugout

04:03Can you just sum up your emotions right now?

04:08Oh, ecstatic, ecstatic

04:10It's a whole season's work completed tonight

04:14And if you can guarantee it, you'd choose to do it that way

04:19It had everything, lots of drama

04:21Ups, downs, twists and turns

04:23But we got over the line and I think we got what we deserved

04:26Yeah, I think you're right

04:28And I think as a club, I think we really harmonised well today

04:31We had 300 fans behind that goal

04:33Made a lot of noise

04:34And you guys, especially in the second half

04:37I thought that you probably played that best half of football that we've seen all season

04:42I mean, the guys ran through brick walls for you, didn't they?

04:47The running was never in question

04:49They ran in the first half

04:50We just didn't play the football that's got us here tonight

04:54In the first half

04:55And that was the message at half-time to the boys

04:57Was look, we've done something that's worked all season

05:00We've been good at and we know would cause the opposite of problems

05:02Got to be braver

05:04And they did that, they did that

05:06One question from me

05:07In the penalty shootout

05:09You gave the young man the chance to go up and take the first penalty

05:12You put a lot of pressure on the young man

05:14You stepped up and did it for you

05:16Alex Brewer

05:17Yeah, Alex, to be fair to Alex

05:19He scored our first goal of the season

05:21And we tipped him to score our last of the season tonight

05:24But fair play to Alex

05:26He's been out on loan a lot of the season

05:28We thought it was important that he played a lot of minutes at step 4

05:31Rather than sit on our bench

05:33He's gone away, he's done the work, he's worked hard

05:35And he's come back and he's earned his place in the squad tonight

05:38Good, yeah

05:39I'm going to end it there

05:41We've all got to get home

05:42We're miles from mid Sussex

05:45There's two coaches out there

05:47Let's go and have a great time shall we?

05:49Yeah, let's do it

05:50Thank you

05:51Cheers
