Cardiff Met 3-2 The New Saints: Christian Edwards' return of The Archers was a perfect one as Cardiff Met came from two goals down to beat league leaders The New Saints. Leo Smith and Adam Wilson had put the visitors two goals up within 12 minutes before Cardiff came roaring back. Chris Baker halved the deficit before half-time before Eliot Evans levelled on 62 minutes. Five minutes later the Archers were ahead as Baker scored his second of the game.
Bala Town 0-0 Penybont: Penybont dropped a place to fourth after being held to a goalless draw by 10-man Bala. Kieran Smith made his record 262nd appearance for Bala, but the game could not provide a goal for the occasion, though Adam Roscrow came agonisingly close for the 10 men late on with a curling effort that drifted narrowly wide of the top corner.
Newtown 1-1 Connah's Quay Nomads: Michael Wilde's late equaliser earned visitors Connah's Quay Nomads a point away at Newtown. Louis Robles gave the hosts the lead after five minutes at Latham Park. Newtown kept Nomads at bay for long periods, but were undone late on by Wilde's effort.
