Connah's Quay Nomads 3-0 Llanelli Town: Connah's Quay returned to winning ways with a convincing victory at the Essity Stadium. Jacob Cook got the breakthrough, tapping home his first Nomads goal on the stroke of half-time. Callum West doubled the lead, curling a shot into the top corner, before Harry Franklin added a stunning late strike.
Cardiff Met 2-0 Bala Town: Cardiff Met claimed back-to-back wins with victory over Bala in Cyncoed. The damage was done in the first half; a sweetly-struck half-volley from Ryan Reynolds gave the Archers the lead, before a wind-assisted own goal guaranteed all three points.
Haverfordwest County 3-1 Flint Town United: Haverfordwest ended their miserable run with a hard-fought win. Rhys Abbruzzese's free kick put them ahead at the Ogi Bridge Meadow before Dan Hawkins doubled the lead. Flint pulled one back when Jake Phillips' cross found the corner of the net, but Iori Humphreys' late header ensured the hosts moved off the bottom of the table.
The New Saints 4-0 Barry Town United: TNS moved three points clear at the top of the table after firing four past Barry. Jack Bodenham headed them into a first half lead at Park Hall, with Ken Charles, Adam Wilson and Ben Clark all on target after the break. Saints are now on a seven game winning streak, while Barry's first loss in five games sees them drop out of the top six.
Colwyn Bay 1-0 Caernarfon Town: Louis Robles' first half goal saw Colwyn Bay beat Caernarfon to move back into the top six. Caernarfon, who had captain Danny Gosset sent-off, have now lost three of their last four games.
