Barry Town 3-2 Connah’s Quay Nomads: Ieuan Owen's late spectacular solo effort clinched victory for the hosts after the contest looked to have been heading for a 2-2 draw. Kayne McLaggon gave Barry a first half lead before Rhys Hughes equalised after the break. Owen then put Barry back ahead before Hughes struck again. On the 88th minute, Owen picked up the ball on the half way line before beating two defenders and coolly slotting home to win the game.

Briton Ferry 0-1 Caernarfon Town: Darren Thomas' first half goal was enough for Caernarfon to come away with all three points and get back to winning ways after four games without a victory. Caernarfon remain in the top half of the table, while Briton Ferry are bottom.

Penybont 3-1 Flint Town: Penybont extended their unbeaten run at the top of the table with victory at home to Flint. All the damage was done in the first half with goals from James Crole, Mael Davies and Chris Venables, while Harry Owen scored for Flint just after the break. Bont are seven points clear of The New Saints, who have three games in hand after their European exploits.

Cardiff Met 3–3 Bala Town: Kieran Lloyd and Osebi Abadaki exchanged first half goals, before Nathan Peate and Joe Malkin gave Bala a commanding second half lead. Met then came back into the game with goals from Jake Morris and Tom Vincent to ensure the spoils were shared, with Bala earning a fifth draw in a row.

The New Saints 2-1 Haverfordwest County: TNS came from behind to earn victory over Haverfordwest.

Victory moved Craig Harrison's men, who sit second, within four points of leaders Penybont while they are now four points clear of Haverfordwest, who stay third.
