PADRAIG AMOND says Woking don't want a playoff finish to be the end of their achievements this season.

PODGE'S JOB IS NOT DONE YET!

Darren Sarll's Cards have guaranteed their place in the National League's top seven with four games to go to ensure they will compete in the Step 1 play-offs for the first time in club history.

Experienced striker affectionately Amond known as Podge - says no one is underestimating what a big achievement that is. But they're not patting themselves on the back just yet.

"That's the reason I joined the club - I thought there was a good chance we could maybe get into the Football League but at least make the play-offs," Amond, 34, told The NLP.

"I think if you'd offered the players, staff, fans anybody involved in the club the play-offs at the start of the season they would have snapped your hand off.

"But to confirm it with four games left is a real achievement. Probably one that has been overlooked a little bit because of how well Wrexham and Notts County have gone this year. That's been the story and understandably so.

"But for a club like Woking, to be sitting where we are in the table and guaranteed play-offs is a huge achievement. Unfortunately, that's where that achievement ends. We've got there now, we've put all that effort in and we don't want it to be in vain.
