Cardiff Met 2-2 Caernarfon Town: In the end Caernarfon Town did not need this dramatic draw to ensure their place in the Championship Conference. The visitors led for an hour thanks to Adam Davies' early effort as they sought the outcome that would ensure a place in the top six. Goals from Emlyn Lewis and Eliot Evans in the space of three minutes meant the visitors needed Danny Gosset's equaliser to ease their nerves. However, Haverfordwest's home defeat by Bala Town meant it was a point Caernarfon did not need to claim their top six place.

Aberystwyth Town 2-4 Barry Town United: John Owen opened for the hosts, but after Sam Snaith's equaliser the visitors took control with Aiden Lewis, Kayen McLaggon and Ollie Hulbert finding the net. Jonathan Owen scored a late consolation for Aberystwyth, who will begin the Play-off Conference third from bottom and a point above the relegation zone. Barry Town are in ninth, a place and eight points above the hosts.

Colwyn Bay 2-3 Pontypridd United: The south Wales team remain bottom of the table despite this dramatic triumph at Colwyn Bay. Only a point now separates these relegation-threatened teams. Clayton Green gave Pontypridd a 12th minute lead and after Harry Owen hit back, Green's second was also cancelled out, Udoyen Akpan making it 2-2, before Luke Cummings settled it in the fifth minute of added time.

Haverfordwest County 2-3 Bala Town: Haverfordwest missed out on a place in the Championship Conference. They took the lead through Martell Taylor-Crossdale but after Joshua Ukek equalised in the 86th minute, Iwan Roberts put the visitors 2-1 ahead. Ben Fawcett gave the hosts hope as he levelled at 2-2, only for Luke Wall to end any lingering hope Haverfordwest had of making the top six.

Penybont 0-1 Connah's Quay Nomads: Michael Wilde scored the only goal at Penybont, who must settle for a place in the Play-off Conference for the rest of the season, while second-place Nomads eye a challenge to The New Saints.

The New Saints 3-1 Newtown: Leaders The New Saints earned another comfortable win, this time at the expense of Newtown. Brad Young opened for the hosts. Jason Oswell hit back, but Jordan Williams and Declan McManus struck and both teams look forward to life in the top six for the rest of the campaign.
