Colwyn Bay 0-1 Barry Town United: Barry bounced back from their 6-2 home loss to The New Saints with victory at Colwyn Bay, Kayne McLaggon grabbing the crucial goal to leave the hosts without a league win in five games.
Newtown 1-1 Haverfordwest County: Aaron Williams gave Newtown the lead after just four minutes, but Rhys Abbruzzese conjured an equaliser for the visitors before half-time to rescue a draw.
