The New Saints 3-0 Aberystwyth Town: Declan McManus' sixth-minute penalty set leaders Saints on the way to extending their unbeaten start to the season, and stretching Aberystwyth's winless run at their hosts back to the 1993-94 season. McManus added his second just before half-time, with Ryan Astles completing a comfortable win.
Flint Town United 1-2 Bala Town: Bala came from behind to leapfrog Flint into second place. Flint led through a Mike Wilde effort right up until the 75th minute when Chris Venables found a vital equaliser, then Dave Edwards struck in time added on to break Flint hearts.

Barry Town United 0-3 Newtown: Both sides were looking to bounce back after they were knocked out of the JD Welsh Cup last weekend, and it was Newtown that came away with the spoils thanks to an Arron Williams hat-trick.
Haverfordwest County 1-1 Connah's Quay Nomads: Craig Harrison picked up a point in his first game in charge of the Nomads following Andy Morrison's departure midweek. They took a first half lead courtesy of a Callum Morris penalty, while Ben Fawcett got a late equaliser for the Bluebirds.
Penybont 1-1 Caernarfon Town: It was a well-earned point for both sides who have been in good form of late. Bont took the lead thanks to a deflected Nathan Wood strike, while Cai Jones levelled it up for the visitors in the second half.
Cardiff Met 4-2 Cefn Druids: The Druids are still searching for their first win of the season, despite a spirited performance away from home. Ben Wynne's goal gave them an early lead, but there was a quick reply from the students with goals from Emlyn Lewis and Adam Roscrow. Wynne equalised before Lewis Rees restored the lead just before the break. Harry Owen's deflected header made sure of the result in injury time.
