Barry Town United 1-1 Connah's Quay Nomads: Kayne McLaggon penalty in first-half added time was cancelled out after the break by Nomads' Byron Harrison as the visitors held onto 10th spot in the table with Barry staying 11th, albeit with both teams level on points.

Cardiff Met 1-1 Aberystwyth Town: Lee Jenkins gave Aberystwyth an early lead, but Kyle McCarthy struck soon after the break to ensure the points were shared. Cardiff Met stay seventh, with Aberystwyth two places below them.

Cefn Druids 1-6 Haverfordwest County: Former Wales international Jazz Richards scored a hat-trick as Haverfordwest romped to victory at bottom-club Cefn Druids. County led 4-1 at the break, with Ryan George striking first before Richards' first goal and two Jordan Davies penalties. Ioan Evans responded for the hosts. Richards found the target again early in the second half before he converted from the penalty spot in stoppage time. Haverfordwest had also been 6-1 winners when the sides met at Bridge Meadow last month.
