01:42We're going
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
