Yeovil Town were beaten late on by their League Two opponents Chesterfield, which you can read more about here – but how did the other National League sides get on during the FA Cup weekend?
We begin with Yeovil’s next league opponents Boreham Wood, who were brought back to planet Earth by League One side Wigan. Jon Mellish and a Morgan Fox brace was the difference between the two teams, as Boreham Wood lost in a competitive fixture for the first time since April.
Aldershot were thumped in a heavy defeat at League One outfit Barnsley, with Harrogate and Scunthorpe both shipping four themselves, against Fylde and Port Vale respectively.
In more positive outcomes for National League teams, Barrow caused an upset at League Two side Gillingham, with Innes Cameron scoring in the 92nd minute, while Carlisle beat League Two leaders Salford. Kidderminster pulled off an impressive 3-0 win at home to League One side Doncaster, and Altrincham took fellow League One side Notts County to penalties in a dramatic, foggy encounter, with the Robins losing.
Halifax were beaten away at Cheltenham, Forest Green were handled comfortably by Luton, and Eastleigh fell at home to Shrewsbury. Hornchurch lost in a valiant effort at home to League One team Blackpool in extra time, while two National League sides were beaten by lower league opposition.
Sutton United lost to a 95th minute penalty away at Northern Premier League Premier Division side Guiseley, while Wealdstone were defeated by National League South outfit Dover.
