Aberystwyth Town 1-2 Newtown: Newtown came from a goal down to edge Aberystwyth thanks to a swift Kieran Mills-Evans double. All the goals came in the first half, with Jonathan Evans having struck in the 28th minute for a lead that lasted just two minutes.
Caernarfon Town 1-5 Bala Town: Caernarfon took an early lead through Darren Thomas, but were pegged back when Antony Kay struck, then crumbled following the 30th-minute dismissal of Ryan Williams. Bala took full advantage as Lassana Mendes, Luke Wall, Oliver Shannon and James Davies found the back of the net.
Connah's Quay Nomads 2-0 Flint Town United: Nomads were made to work hard for a win that keeps them four points behind leaders Saints, but Joe Malkin broked the deadlock after half-time before George Horan made the points safe.
Penybont 1-3 Cardiff Met: The Students kept themselves in third with victory over a Penybont side seeking to keep themselves in the top six ahead of the mid-season split. Matt Chubb gave Met the lead before Kane Owen equalised for the hosts, only for goals by Samuel Jones and Chris Baker to send the result back the visitors' way.
Pontypridd United 3-2 Haverfordwest County: Ponty remain second from bottom, but are now within two points of Aberystwyth after a win that put a huge dent in County's hopes of claiming a top-six spot. Jack Wilson gave the visitors the lead, but Joe Evans and David Vincent struck to give Ponty the lead at half-time. A Jordan Davies penalty looked to have rescued a point for County until Clayton Green scored a dramatic winner deep into time added on.
The New Saints 7-0 Airbus UK Broughton: Leaders Saints ran riot against bottom side Airbus, as 17-year-old Gwion Dafydd set them on their way after just four minutes. Adam Wilson added a second three minutes later and the rest of the game was a canter, with Daniel Williams, a Ben Clark hat-trick and Daniel Redmond completing the rout.
