Caernarfon Town 0-4 Connah's Quay Nomads: Caernarfon's unbeaten start to the season came to an end as Connah's Quay moved up to second with an impressive win at The Oval. Declan Poole put Nomads ahead inside the opening 10 minutes, his first goal since returning to the club. Jack Kenny's header after Ben Nash's downward header bounced back off the crossbar put the visitors further in front early in the second half.
After a delay of 10 minutes due to a medical emergency in the crowd, which was thankfully resolved, Jordan Davies scored Nomads' third from the penalty spot after he was brought down by keeper Lewis Webb before former Caernarfon player Noah Edwards scored a fourth to seal victory for Neil Gibson's men.
Newtown 2-1 Cardiff Met: Newtown secured their first league win of the season to end Cardiff Met's unbeaten start.
Ryan Sears' volley and Aaron Williams' header from Rob Evans' cross gave Newtown a 2-0 lead before Chris Craven's looping header beat Andy Wycherley to pull a goal back for the visitors.
The New Saints 6-0 Aberystwyth Town: New Saints maintained their position at the top of the table with a comfortable win over Aberystwyth, still without a win and a goal this season.
Jake Canavan, who spent a loan spell at Aberystwyth last season, scored his first goal of the season to give Saints the lead on 11 minutes. Ben Clark netted from close range to double the hosts' advantage before the break.
Adrian Cieslewicz scored his fourth of the season from the penalty spot after Danny Davies was brought down by former Saint Beau Cornish before Canavan got his second. Late goals from Rory Holden and Ryan Astles sealed the win to leave Aber bottom of the table.
