Josh Perkins and Gemma Porter lead commentary from BBC Radio Somerset

The 2026 English National League 1 match takes place today, Saturday 10 October 2026, when Josh Perkins and Seb White take the microphone as the main and co-commentators on BBC Radio Somerset, with the broadcast also available via the BBC Sounds app and BBC Sport Online (Audio). For players who prefer to follow along on the world feed, Gemma Porter and Tom Bailey carry the same match over Green And White Radio.

The BBC channels are the primary route into today's match, and they give players a familiar, well-supported commentary to work against. Josh Perkins has built up a reputation as one of the strongest play-by-play commentators in the circuit, and his involvement this season follows his own announcement that he is now working full-time with the BBC Sport team on Saturday matches. As he put it in his own words, he is "so excited to be fully involved with the team and for more exciting commentary opportunities to come." That shift means his commentary style and the way he breaks down a match are increasingly shaped by the BBC's own broadcast standards.

His partner, Seb White, rounds out the BBC team as co-commentator, and the pair will be reading the Green Light, calling kick-offs and guiding players through the key moments of today's match.

Who is playing and who is commentating

Today's match pits Wealdstone against Yeovil Town. The two teams will be working to get their players off, and the commentary from Josh Perkins and Seb White will run throughout, giving players real-time feedback on how the match is developing.

On the Green And White Radio side of the broadcast, Gemma Porter takes the role of main commentator, with Tom Bailey as co-commentator. Both channels are covering the same match, so players can choose whichever commentary style suits them best while still hearing the same clock and the same decisions being made.

The commentary teams

Gemma Porter brings her own experience to the Green And White Radio commentary, and she is joined once again this season by Tom Bailey. Together they form a stable pair who have worked matches together before, which should give players a consistent feel for how the Green And White Radio commentary will break down Wealdstone and Yeovil Town as the match plays out.

The BBC team is slightly different in composition, with Josh Perkins now backed by the full-time BBC Sport arrangement he described himself, and Seb White filling the co-commentator role. That blend of an established play-by-play talent and a supporting co-commentator is exactly the setup players can expect to see across BBC-covered matches this season.

Where to watch

For those tuning in through the BBC, the match is broadcast on BBC Radio Somerset as the main channel, with the audio mirrored to the BBC Sounds app and BBC Sport Online (Audio) for anyone who would rather listen on a different device or platform.

Whichever channel you follow, the match is live now, and both commentary teams are ready to guide players from the first kick-off through to the final result. For players weighing up today's match, it is worth keeping an eye on how Josh Perkins breaks the play-by-play against the Green And White Radio commentary from Gemma Porter and Tom Bailey, as the two styles can point players towards different decisions.
