The New Saints 1-0 Swansea City: TNS moved to the top of the Adran Premier with a last-gasp triumph over Swansea at Park Hall. The visitors were dealt a blow as goalkeeper Charlie Haynes was forced off through injury midway through the first half - with defender Nia Jones taking her place. Haynes' replacement Katy Hosford struck the bar for the Swans, but Lexi Jones scored the only goal of the contest in added time to win it for the home side. The Saints - who are unbeaten in 11 matches in all competitions - are a point clear of reigning champions Cardiff City, although the Bluebirds have a game in hand. Swansea stay third.

Wrexham 4-3 Barry Town United: Olivia Fuller's late winner earned Wrexham all three points in a dramatic contest with Barry. Phoebe Davies notched her first goal of the season to give the hosts the lead after just two minutes at The Rock, with Erin Murray making it 1-1 shortly after half time. Fuller grabbed her first of the game three minutes later to restore Wrexham's lead, with Ava Suckley making it 3-1. Goals from Amy Long and Ellie Preece looked to have earned the away side a point until Fuller completed her brace late on to earn Wrexham a fourth league win of the season.
