Airbus UK 0-6 Bala Town: Bala moved up to second with an impressive win over winless and managerless Airbus, who remain rooted at the bottom of the table.
Chris Venables had a couple of chances for the visitors before defender Nathan Peate gave Bala the lead with a low effort from over 25 yards which gave Airbus keeper Lewis Dutton no chance and within four minutes George Newell had doubled the lead when he slotted home at the far post. The home side's woes went from bad to worse as Newell and Venables both grabbed second goals before the end of the first half.
Adam Roscrow made it 5-0 with two minutes remaining before Newell, son of former Everton and Blackburn Rovers striker Mike Newell, completed his hat-trick.
The New Saints 4-1 Newtown: Leaders The New Saints extended their unbeaten start and are five points clear after victory over the only side which has taken points off them this season. Danny Davies was fouled by Craig Williams and from the resultant penalty Declan McManus put Saints ahead with his sixth goal in as many league games.
Davies himself added the second with a fine strike for his first of the season. Josh Daniels' header from Chris Marriott's corner put the champions further ahead before former Saint Louis Robles pulled a goal back for the Robins. Adrian Cieślewicz wrapped up victory for Craig Harrison's side with a fourth nine minutes from time.
