Defender Luke Woolfenden is cool. 19 he made his professional competitive debut for parent club Ipswich Town at the start of the season, then went on loan to Bromley where he has earned much acclaim.

Harry talks to the team about the difficulties over the past season, and why he is proud of his players and where he thinks the club is heading under his managerial guidance.

The season may be ending for many this weekend, but there are still many permutations for promotion, relegation and play-offs. Yet, even the rules and their application aren't completely clear as the team discuss.
