Championship Conference

Connah's Quay 0-0 Newtown: Connah's Quay played out a goalless draw with Newtown.

The Nomads remain second in the Championship Conference, sitting seven points clear of Bala Town who have a game in hand. Newtown are sixth on 37 points with three games left to play.

Playoff Conference

Barry Town United 0-0 Penybont: Barry earned themselves a point despite ending the contest at Jenner Park with only nine players.

Rhys Davies was dismissed in the 57th minute before Ollie Hulbert saw red in injury time, although they kept Penybont at bay to claim a draw.

However, it leaves them eight points adrift of the crucial seventh spot - which earns a European playoff place - with only nine points left to play for.

Pontypridd United 0-1 Haverfordwest County: Rhys Abbruzzese's 88th minute penalty earned the Bluebirds a crucial win at Pontypridd United.

Abbruzzese converted from 12 yards out after Iori Humphreys was fouled by goalkeeper Ashley Morris as United fell back into the relegation zone.

Victory for Haverfordwest combined with Penybont's draw saw Tony Pennock's men open up a three-point gap at the top of the Playoff Conference with three games to go in the regular season.

Colwyn Bay 1-2 Aberystwyth Town: Steffan Davies struck an injury time winner for Aberystwyth who climbed out of the drop zone by beating bottom side Colwyn Bay.

Jack Thorn gave the Seasiders an early lead on the north Wales coast, although substitute Daniel Atkins looked to have salvaged a point for Bay in the 88th minute.

But Davies netted in injury time to earn Aberystwyth all three points, lifting them two points and one place above the relegation zone. Colwyn Bay are four points adrift of safety.
