Bala Town 1-0 Connah's Quay Nomads: An own goal by visitors' keeper Jon Rushton ensured Bala are unbeaten after three games. The hosts now have two wins and a draw. The Nomads had responded to defeat by The New Saints in their first game by beating Aberystwyth 4-0. But Rushton's 49th-minute own goal gave Bala the spoils.
Pontypridd United 0-0 Penybont; 19:45 BST: Pontypridd are still seeking their first win after this goalless encounter. Rhys Griffiths' Penybont remain unbeaten after following wins over Newtown and Haverfordwest County with a point at their south Wales neighbours.

Cardiff Met 1-0 Colwyn Bay: Sam Jones' first half effort proved enough for Cardiff Met who continue their unbeaten start to the campaign. Jones found the top corner of the net after some great build-up play. The visitors were unable to add to their first point which they picked up against Barry last weekend.
Haverfordwest County 1-1 Caernarfon Town: A 96th minute free-kick from Rhys Abbruzzese salvaged a point for Haverfordwest County in a performance manager Tony Pennock called his worst since taking over at the Ogi Bridge Meadow. Caernarfon, who had enjoyed a perfect start to the season with two wins from two, took the lead through a back post Louis Lloyd header.
The New Saints 2-2 Barry Town United: Barry Town came from two goals down at Park Hall to claim a well-deserved point away to the champions. Saints were in a commanding position thanks to second half goals from Adam Roscrow and Jordan Williams, before Ollie Hulbert and Kayne McLaggon found the target late on in a dramatic finale. Saints remain top of the table, while Barry are awaiting a first league win.
Newtown 0-0 Aberystwyth: It was a goalless affair between the league's two ever present clubs, quite the contrast to the seven goal thriller the last time they met in December. But it is a point on the board for both sides who lost their two opening games.
