Aberystwyth Town 2-1 Haverfordwest County: Aberystwyth survived Jonathan Evans' late sending off to take the points for a third straight home league win. Harry Arnison and John Owen gave the home side the lead, before Jordan Davies pulled a goal back and Evans was shown a second yellow to give Haverfordwest hope.
Caernarfon Town 2-0 Flint Town United: Caernarfon halted a two match losing run against a Flint side who began the evening just one place behind them but have now not won in six league games. Fidel O'Rourke opened the scoring for the home side before Ben Wynne made the points safe with a second goal four minutes from time.
Pontypridd United 1-4 Newtown: Newtown built on last Saturday's 8-1 victory at Cardiff Corinthians in the Welsh Cup with an impressive win at Pontypridd. The visitors were 3-0 up by half-time thanks to a Louis Robles double and an Aaron Williams penalty. Kurtis Rees' goal soon after the restart gave Ponty a way back but moments later the home side had Clayton Green sent off, before Henry Cowans struck a fourth Newtown goal.

Airbus UK Broughton 0-3 Penybont: Bottom of the table Airbus, recently deducted three points deduction for fielding an ineligible player, remain without a win as Penybont extended their unbeaten record to five games to move up to third. The visitors went ahead through Lewis Dutton's own goal in the first half but had to wait until the last 10 minutes to wrap up the win thanks to Rhys Kavanagh's fifth goal of the season and Nathan Wood's penalty.
Bala Town 0-5 The New Saints: The New Saints made it an eighth successive Cymru Premier win and remain unbeaten following an impressive display against Bala Town, who had previously been unbeaten in five games.
Ben Clark set the visitors on their way after five minutes with Adam Wilson's header doubling their advantage 11 minutes later. Josh Daniels and Wilson's second extended their lead before Declan McManus' free-kick completed the scoring for Saints, who are four points clear at the top.
Connah's Quay Nomads 2-0 Cardiff Met: Connah's Quay Nomads kept in touch with league leaders The New Saints as two Mike Wilde goals saw them pick up a fourth straight win with victory over Cardiff Met at Deeside Stadium.
Veteran Wilde's powerful header from Ryan Stratulis's cross put Nomads ahead on eight minutes. Stratulis was the provider for Wilde's second goal, his eighth of the season, which sealed the win early in the second half.
