Play-Off Conference

Friday, 7 March

Briton Ferry Llansawel 3-4 Barry Town United: Barry remain in pole position to secure the final play-off spot with a late win in a seven goal thriller at Briton Ferry Llansawel.

Ollie Hulbert and Ieuan Owen gave Barry a 2-0 lead before Thomas Walters pulled a goal back for Ferry. Hulbert scored his second to restore Barry's advantage but Ruben Davies cut the deficit and with two minutes remaining Keiran Williams made it 3-3. But the home side's hopes were dashed in stoppage time when Owen scored his second to seal the win for Barry. Andy Dyer's Briton Ferry are just out of the drop zone on goal difference.

Connah's Quay Nomads 3-0 Aberystwyth Town: Aberystwyth are eight points adrift at the bottom of the table as Connah's Quay Nomads won to boost their play-off hopes.

Rhys Hughes gave Nomads a 14th minute lead, finishing off a fine move before the hosts wrapped up the win in the second half with Olly Wright, on his first start for the club, scoring the second with Jack Kenny sealing victory in stoppage time.

Newtown 2-2 Flint Town United: Newtown remain in the relegation zone after Flint scored a late equaliser to deny them victory at Latham Park.

Zeli Ismail scored his second goal of the season to give Newtown the lead on the half hour mark after Flint failed to clear a corner but Ben Collins levelled for Lee Fowler's men two minutes before the break. Rackeem Reid restored the hosts' advantage six minutes after the break but Elliot Reeves' goal with two minutes remaining rescued a point for Flint to deny Newtown a priceless three points.

Championship Conference

Saturday, 8 March

The New Saints 5-1 Haverfordwest County: TNS edged ever closer to retaining their Cymru Premier title with a convincing victory over Haverfordwest. The hosts raced into a 3-0 lead at Park Hall as Danny Davies and Aramide Oteh both netted after Luke Tabone's early own goal. Owain Jones pulled a goal back for the Bluebirds, but Jordan Marshall and Jordan Williams netted in the second half as Craig Harrison's men romped to victory. The Saints could clinch the title with victory against Caernarfon next weekend. Haverfordwest stay third, six points behind Bont who are second.

Cardiff Met 4-2 Caernarfon Town: Cardiff Met earned a third successive home win as they moved up to fourth in the Cymru Premier. Met took an early lead through Ryan Reynolds, although the Canaries equalised through Blaine Hudson. Matty Hill put Caernarfon ahead after the restart, only for Sam Jones to equalise nine minutes later. But Lewis Rees netted his first goal since November before Jones completed his brace as the Archers secured victory to rise above Caernarfon into fourth. Richard Davies' side drop to fifth, behind Met on goal difference.

Penybont 3-2 Bala Town: Penybont kept their faint title hopes alive with a dramatic last-gasp victory over Bala in Bridgend. James Crole bagged his 10th league goal of the season to put the home side in front on 13 minutes, but Joe Malkin's third goal of the campaign brought the Lakesiders level after half time. Owen Pritchard put Rhys Griffiths' side back in front on the hour mark, although Malkin's second of the afternoon looked set to earn the visitors a point until Crole bagged his second in the sixth minute of added time to snatch victory. Penybont trail TNS by 12 points with five games remaining. Bala stay sixth, nine points adrift of Caernarfon and Cardiff Met.
