Bala Town A-A Caernarfon Town: Bala and Caernarfon met at Maes Tegid in a fixture that promised to have huge significance in the race to secure a top-six spot, only for the game to be abandoned at half-time due to the weather conditions causing concern for player safety.

Briton Ferry 0-0 Barry Town United: Ferry and Barry fought out a goalless encounter that did neither side any real favours in the table, with sixth-placed Barry unable to put any real distance between themselves and Caernarfon in seventh, while Ferry are still hovering near the foot of the division.

The New Saints 2-1 Connah's Quay Nomads: The game sparked into life around the half-hour mark when Ryan Brobbel put the hosts ahead, only for Noah Edwards to equalise within four minutes. Jordan Williams had Saints back in front in an action-packed first half that ended with Nomads forward Jack Kenny being shown a straight red card after a clash with Williams. Saints moved to the top of the table for the first time this season courtesy of victory.

Penybont 2-2 Cardiff Met: A second half fightback saw Met come from two goals down to draw with title challengers Penybont. Ioan Phillips struck either side of half time to put Rhys Griffiths' side in control. But CJ Craven scored from the penalty spot before Tom Vincent's thumping hit seven minutes later ensured the points were shared. Bont sit one point behind new league leaders TNS while Cardiff Met stay fourth.

Flint Town United 2-0 Newtown: Flint climbed out of the relegation zone with an impressive win over Newtown. Jake Phillips netted his second goal of the campaign to put the hosts in front in the 53rd minute. The Robins had Jolyon Harries sent off on the hour mark, and Michael Burke added a late second for Flint - who move above Newtown into ninth.

Haverfordwest County 1-0 Aberystwyth Town: Haverfordwest stay third after earning a second successive victory by beating bottom side Aberystwyth. Dan Hawkins struck the only goal of the game six minutes before half time. Town stay 12th and sit five points adrift of safety with one match left to play before the league split.
