Hill took over as Woking manager in January

Woking manager Garry Hill says the club will come back stronger following defeat in the Blue Square Bet South play-off semi-finals.

The Cards, who suffered only two defeats in their final 20 games of the league season, were beaten 2-1 on aggregate by Farnborough.

Hill told BBC Surrey: "Going forward we've got a lot of positives.

"We don't like it but it's something we have to live with. The younger players will become better players for it."

He added: "It's a shame me and Steve Thompson didn't come in sooner, but we've got something to build on."

However Hill says the club must put together a competitive playing budget if they wish to replicate a top-five finish next season.

"I understand the club have got to look after their finances but the best brand they can sell is on the pitch," the former Dagenham & Redbridge boss continued.

"Over the last three and a half months we've shown that. We've doubled gates and got some money from the play-offs.

"I've made my commitment to the football club and we've shown in a short space of time to a lot of people at this level that we've put the club in a healthy position very quickly.

"We'll sit down over the next week and see where they are."
