Caernarfon Town 2-1 Haverfordwest County: Caernarfon moved into second thanks to Josef Faux's winner. Fidel O'Rourke had given the home side an early lead before Jack Wilson equalised after half-time, but it was not enough after Faux consigned Haverfordwest to their third successive defeat.
Cardiff Met 0-7 The New Saints: Adrian Cieślewicz led the way with a hat-trick as leaders Saints crushed the Students - who had begun the day in second place after four wins from their opening five games. Ryan Brobbel, a Declan McManus brace and Ryan Astles were the other scorers for unbeaten Saints.
Flint Town United 1-1 Bala Town: Larnell Cole's last-gasp goal rescued a point for Flint after Chris Venables' penalty had seemed set to give Bala victory. The result sees Flint in fifth, two points and two places above Bala.
Pontypridd United 1-0 Airbus UK Broughton: A Jack Williams penalty six minutes from time saw Ponty edge a meeting between two newly promoted sides at USW Sport Park, giving the hosts their second win of the season against winless Airbus who remain bottom of the table.
Newtown 2-3 Penybont: Third place Penybont held off a determined Newtown fightback. Kai Whitmore's strike and a Nathan Wood penalty on the stroke of half-time put the visitors in control. Aaron Williams pulled a goal back before Sam Snaith restored the two-goal cushion for Penybont, who still endured some late nerves after Williams claimed a second Newtown goal.
