Connah's Quay Nomads 1-0 Aberystwyth Town: Connah's Quay Nomads moved to the top of the table - for the time being at least - after a narrow win at home to Aberystwyth. Craig Curran's header ensured Nomads led 1-0 at the break and although they had chances to double their lead in the second - most notably Jamie Insall's bicycle kick striking the post - the champions secured a second win and inflicted Aber's first defeat.
Haverfordwest County 0-0 Cardiff Met: Both sides are still seeking their first wins of the season after a stalement at Bridge Meadow. County are also seeking their first league goal of the season while Met kept a clean sheet after conceding five at home to Flint on the opening day of the season..

Flint Town United 4-0 Cefn Druids: Flint continued their scoring streak by crushing 10-man Druids, having put five past Cardiff Met last time out. Mike Wilde starred with a hat-trick, including a late penalty. Druid's Phil Mooney was sent off after just 20 minutes, with Jack Kenny's opener for Flint a minute later setting the hosts on their way.
Penybont 1-1 Newtown: Penybont had to settle for a point again - after drawing 2-2 at Bala last Saturday - as Newtown battled back to draw. Samuel Snaith had given the hosts the lead but Aaron Williams replied just before half-time for a share of the spoils.
The New Saints 5-3 Caernarfon Town: The goals were spread around in an eight-goal thriller edged by Saints. Dan Davies started the scoring after five minutes but Caernarfon soon levelled through Danny Gosset. Declan McManus and Louis Bradford put Saints in the driving seat before Darren Thomas pulled a goal back. Blaine Hudson restored the hosts' two-goal cushion, but Gwion Dafydd's reply kept the result in doubt until Ash Baker's goal deep in time added on sealed things.
Barry Town United 0-0 Bala Town: Bala, without suspended top scorer and captain Chris Venables, were unable to find a way past hosts Barry, who claimed a welcome point after their late loss at Aberystwyth last week.
