Colwyn Bay 3-1 Aberystwyth Town: Colwyn Bay followed up last weekend's first ever win in the Cymru Premier with a second haul of three points at home to bottom side Aberystwyth. Tom Creamer and Dan Jones gave them a two-goal cushion and, although Iwan Lewis gave Aber hope on the stroke of half-time, the hosts moved away again in the second half through Udoyen Akpan's strike.

Connah's Quay Nomads 4-0 Cardiff Met: Nomads leapt into a 2-0 lead by half-time as they went in search of a fourth successive league win, with Jack Kenny and Ben Nash the scorers. A late goal burst with Mike Wilde and Nash again on target gave the score a lop-sided look as Met chased the game.
Newtown 2-0 Barry Town United: Aaron Williams struck in the very first minute as Newtown took an early grip against a Barry side searching for their first league win of the season, then added a second in the closing stages to seal victory.
Penybont 3-2 Caernarfon Town: Marc Williams struck first for Caernarfon but Penybont clawed their way back into the game as Chris Venables scored deep into time added on in the first half. The home side went ahead when Venables scored again with 14 minutes remaining, and although Phil Mooney looked like he had rescued a point eight minutes into time added on, there was still time for Penybont to snatch a dramatic win when Gruff John could not avoid putting the ball into his own net.
Pontypridd United 0-0 Bala Town: Bala were frustrated in their bid to keep pace with the top two after being held to a stalemate at Pontypridd, who held firm to build from last week's loss against Cardiff Met.
The New Saints 5-1 Haverfordwest County: Unbeaten Saints took the lead through Leo Smith and the league leaders doubled their advantage early in the second half when Blaine Hudson pounced. Lee Jenkins gave County hope as the visitors pulled a goal back, but a Ryan Brobbel hat-trick in a nine-minute spell snuffed out any recovery.
