Flint responded immediately through Callum Bratley but Danny Davies' header won it for Anthony Limbrick's men, who are 23 points clear at the top.
Newtown 0-2 Bala Town: Bala have moved up to second in the Cymru Premier as they began the second phase of the season with victory at Latham Park. Nathan Peate and Chris Venables scored for Colin Caton's side.
