Aberystwyth Town 2-4 Newtown: Nick Rushton put Newtown ahead after just three minutes, firing home from James Davies' cross. Jonathan Evans missed a chance for Aberystwyth before Rushton scored his second after the home defence failed to deal with a long clearance. Sam Phillips pulled a goal back for Aber early in the second half, but Rushton completed his hat-trick before Davies netted their fourth. Rhys Davies scored Aber's second with a minute remaining. Newtown stay third, but are level on points with second-placed Flint.
Flint Town United P-P Caernarfon Town: Postponed because of a waterlogged pitch, the game has been rescheduled for Tuesday, 14 December, Kick-Off 19.45 GMT.

Barry Town United 1-2 The New Saints: The New Saints extended their lead at the top of the table with a hard-fought win at Barry. They got off to a dream start with Danny Redmond slotting the ball home after just four minutes. Jordon Williams doubled their lead just after the hour mark before Theo Wharton's 70th minute goal sparked a late comeback. It was a nervy finish, but Saints held on for all three points.
Connah's Quay Nomads 0-0 Cardiff Met: Nomads extended their unbeaten run to seven games while Cardiff Met edged closer to safety after a goalless draw. Nomads did get the ball in the net twice, but were denied by the offside flag.
Haverfordwest County 0-0 Bala Town: Haverfordwest remain in the bottom two despite an improved performance against a Bala side that put six past them at Maes Tegid in September. This affair ended goalless with chances for both sides, the best falling to the Lakesiders on the 90th minute with Nathan Peate's header hitting the woodwork.
Penybont 7-1 Cefn Druids: Penybont extended their unbeaten run to four games after hitting a magnificent seven against league strugglers Druids. There were two goals apiece for Lewis Harling, Sam Snaith and James Waite, plus one for the skipper Kane Owen. Niall Flint got a consolation for the visitors.
