Caernarfon Town 0-1 Haverfordwest County: Haverfordwest boss Tony Pennock celebrated his manager of the month award for November with victory at Caernarfon where Rio Dyer scored the winner.
The hosts, who saw Dion Donohue sent off in the 96th minute, had taken four points from previous two league games, but County are now unbeaten in six league games, although they were beaten on penalties by Cardiff Met in the Welsh Cup last time out.
Connah's Quay Nomads 3-1 Pontypridd United: Pontypridd's woes continued on a tricky trip to Connah's Quay. It was the south Wales team's first game since being docked six points - with the threat of 135 more to come - due to player contract breaches.
Having won only three league games this season, Pontypridd dropped to the bottom of the table as a result of the points penalty.
Goals from Harry Franklin, Noah Edwards and Jordan Davies emphasised the gulf between the teams before Clayton Green hit back.
Nomads have won their three league games since suffering a rare home defeat against Haverfordwest last month.
The New Saints 3-0 Penybont: Leaders The New Saints celebrated an 11th straight league win with mid-table Penybont their latest victims.
TNS remain six points clear with two games in hand over second-placed Connah's Quay Nomads, and had also beaten Penybont 4-1 in October.
Penybont have failed to win in their last five games. On this occasion, goals from Jordan Williams, John Pask and Declan McManus gave TNS the win.
Bala Town 0-1 Cardiff Met: Both clubs went into the game in good form, with each unbeaten in their last four league fixtures.
A first-half goal from Eliot Evans was enough to claim victory for Met at Maes Tegid.
Met finish the weekend fourth in the league, with Bala five points behind in fifth.
