Holloway (r) is in his third spell with Farnborough

Farnborough midfielder Gary Holloway has hailed the club's achievement after they secured a place in the Blue Square Bet South play-off final.

Borough overcame Woking 2-1 on aggregate at the weekend and will face Ebbsfleet United in Sunday's final.

The 30-year-old told BBC Surrey: "Since Simon Hollis came in as chairman the club have shot up the leagues.

"It's a fantastic moment for the club. To be on the verge of promotion is a great achievement."

Holloway added: "[Manager] Steve King is a winner and he surrounds himself with winners in the team.

"He has done an unbelievable job. Everyone should be proud of themselves.

"Not even four years ago the club was on its knees. Simon is dedicated to progressing the club.

"If we get the right players, the club can keep going forward."

Farnborough will have home advantage in the final against Ebbsfleet after finishing higher in the league table, but King believes it will be a close game.

"The boy's legs are hanging off. They gave 120 minutes of hard graft against Woking," King said.

"Ebbsfleet are very good up front. They play the same system as us, but they've let in goals and we're the top scorers in the league.

"It could be another interesting, hard-fought game.

"It's a one-off game and I can't wait. I'm looking forward to it."
