Bala Town 6-2 Haverfordwest County: Former Wales midfielder David Edwards headed home Calum Woods' cross to give unbeaten Bala an early lead. Woods himself scored to extend Bala's lead only for Ben Fawcett to pull a goal back for County. But Paul Rutherford restored Bala's two-goal advantage three minutes later and Edwards scored his second of the game in first half stoppage time. Nathan Peate headed home Bala's fifth five minutes after the interval and although Kieran Lewis got a second for the visitors side, Bradley Bauress sealed Bala's with their sixth two minutes from time.
Barry Town United 1-0 Connah's Quay Nomads: Rhys Kavanagh's first half goal saw Barry end champions Connah's Quay's unbeaten start to the season, with Nomads having John Disney sent-off. The game saw Gavin Chesterfield celebrate his 491st game in charge of Barry.
Flint Town United 4-1 Newtown: Flint's impressive start to the season continued as they beat Newtown. Callum Bratley gave Flint a sixth minute lead after Michael Wilde had an effort blocked. Newtown had a goal disallowed before Jack Kenny doubled the hosts' lead following good work from Alex Jones and Wilde made it three before the half hour mark. Lifumpa Mwandwe pulled a goal back for Newtown in the second half, but Ben Maher sealed the win for Neil Gibson's side, who remain second and only a point behind leaders The New Saints.
Penybont 1-1 The New Saints: Penybont ended The New Saint' perfect start to the season, but a point was enough for Anthony Limbrick's side to remain top of the Cymru Premier. James Waite gave Penybont the lead on the hour mark with Declan McManus rescuing a point for Saints with six minutes remaining.
Aberystwyth Town 0-1 Cardiff Met: Cardiff Met maintained their recent upturn in form with a third successive victory as Ceredigion-born Emlyn Lewis scored with a minute remaining to secure victory at Aberystwyth. Aber have not won in the league since an opening day victory over Barry Town.
