Michael Kamara celebrated two play-off final victories in as many days over the weekend.

Kamara was drafted in for a guest appearance at centre-half as Tonbridge beat Met Police 3-2 in Saturday's super play-off final.

He got the call from Steve McKimm after Angels lost their appeal against Sonny Miles' red card in the Bostik final win over Merstham.

That was the third play-off promotion of his career and a day later he was celebrating again as parent club Woking beat Welling in the National League South final, albeit he wasn't in the squad.

Kamara made the most of his chance with Tonbridge, having signed forms earlier in the year for a Kent Senior Cup game.

He said: "It was crazy. Obviously I got drafted in at the last minute.

"I kind of knew it was happening because Sonny got sent off but at the end of the day some people don't win anything in their career.

"Even to get one promotion is special and I'm lucky enough to have three.

"It's mad, it's unbelievable.

"It's only my fifth game this year so I was a bit leggy towards the end but it was unreal.

"I signed dual-reg when I played in that cup game and it was worth it for occasions like this.

"It was a no-brainer to come and play.

"It's funny because Steve spoke to me in the summer and I should have come and signed then. It's been a crazy year."
