Pyramid Edition 1: the National League while the big leagues rest

With the Premier League on international duty, Jonny and Rhys give the National League the whole show. Yeovil score six, Barrow win it in stoppage time, Boreham Wood come from behind and Woking's substitute Liam Dulson scores twice. Then all the results, the table and who moved, Worthing's third trip north in Miles on the Clock, and Charlotte's Producer's Pick: Gateshead 1–2 Worthing. Goal minutes follow BBC Sport; where clubs' own reports differ by a minute or so, the sources note it. Road miles are our own estimates (fastest route, OpenStreetMap routing).
