00:00Good evening and welcome back to Woodstock.

00:04Bursthill Town have just pulled off a fantastic result.

00:08I think we're all smiling. Penalties.

00:11Jay, can I just get your instant reaction?

00:15First time I think in my life I've been stumped for words really.

00:19I see a joy, proud, elated.

00:25I speak a single word to express how I'm feeling at the moment.

00:29One thing I do need to say is that those boys have been absolutely fantastic the whole season.

00:35To win the playoffs the way we've won it against Margate and against Sittingbourne,

00:38two very strong teams.

00:40Well, yeah, I can't be proud of them.

00:43They've done a fantastic job and as I said, they've made me a very happy man

00:47and they've made Gary a very happy man as well.

00:49They ran through brick walls for you tonight, didn't they?

00:52They did, yeah.

00:54I suppose you're now going to get home somehow.

00:58Yeah, I'll be on the coach.

01:00Carl's parked at the club so I'm pretty sure I'll be enjoying a few beers on the coach.

01:05A few songs will be sung I would imagine.

01:07Yeah.

01:08And I still think it'll take a while for this to sink in to really what it is.

01:11But yeah, step three, here we come. Happy days.

01:13Well done Jay, it was a fantastic night for the club.

01:16I know it's not going to sink in for any of us until a couple of days, even three or four days.

01:21It's going to make for some party, isn't it?

01:23Yeah, I'm looking forward to the presentation evening already.

01:26Yeah.

01:27We might still be partying from now until then anyway.

01:29But yeah, I'm massively elated.

01:32Good.

01:33As I said, I'm a very, very proud manager at the moment.

01:36And Gaz and I have worked at SocSoft this year with Bubz and Lewis and Chloe.

01:43And those guys have come through for us today and it's nice to see the hard work pay off.

01:49And they deserve everything before that they get as well.

01:51Excellent.

01:52Well, I'll let you go.

01:53Thank you very much for talking to me.

01:54Go and enjoy it.

01:55I will do. Take care.

01:56See you later.
