Airbus UK Broughton 1-2 Connah's Quay Nomads: Connah's Quay won the battle of the Flintshire neighbours to extend their unbeaten run to 14 games in all competitions and stay second in the table. Harry Franklin gave Connah's Quay an early lead before Callum Morris made it 2-0 from the penalty spot just after the hour. Airbus pulled one back late on through Kaiden Cooke, but remain bottom of the table and are still seeking a first league win this season.
Bala Town 1-0 Flint Town United: George Newell's 82nd-minute header condemned Flint to a fourth successive defeat as Bala triumphed despite having Nathan Peate sent off in the first half. Victory sees Bala climb to third in the table, while Flint stay 10th, two points above the bottom two.
Caernarfon Town 2-3 Newtown: Caernarfon's winless run was stretched to three matches as they lost an entertaining game to a Newtown side who are celebrating three straight league victories. Louis Robles gave Newtown an early lead before Aaron Williams doubled the visitors' advantage, only for on-loan Liverpool forward Fidel O'Rourke to pull one back before half-time. Nick Rushton made it 3-1 before Noah Edwards struck for Caernarfon, but they could not find an equaliser. Caernarfon drop to sixth, with Newtown in eighth.
Haverfordwest County 2-1 Penybont: In-form Haverfordwest claimed a third straight league win as they toppled a Penybont side who began the night in third in the table. Elliot Dugan's close-range finish put the hosts ahead early on and Jamie Veale's free-kick put County in control. Nathan Wood scored a consolation for Penybont, who slip to fourth, in added time.
Pontypridd United 0-1 Cardiff Met: Joe Evans scored an own goal early in the second half to give Cardiff Met victory at struggling Pontypridd, who are in the bottom two having won just once in six games. Cardiff Met have had an inconsistent season so far, but victory sees them climb to fifth.
The New Saints 11-0 Aberystwyth Town: Leaders Saints claimed a remarkable victory against Aberystwyth. Having dropped points for only the second time this season in their last game, a 0-0 draw at Penybont, Craig Harrison's side maintained their seven-point lead at the top of the table as they dismantled Anthony Williams' Aber. It was 4-0 at half-time thanks to Danny Davies' double plus goals from Adam Wilson and Leo Smith. Adrian Cieślewicz scored twice before Gwion Dafydd and Ryan Brobbel got in the act as Saints scored four times in 16 second-half minutes. Ben Clark, Dafydd and on-loan Swansea midfielder Dan Williams then struck in the closing stages to complete a painful night for Aber, who drop to ninth.
