Aberystwyth Town 1-6 Briton Ferry Llansawel: Briton Ferry rose to ninth with a convincing win over bottom side Aberystwyth Town. Luke Bowen and Tom Walters struck in the opening half hour to put the visitors in control at Park Avenue. Jonathan Evans responded for the hosts just before half time after capitalising on a defensive mix-up. But Walters and Bowen both grabbed their second goals of the afternoon shortly after the break before Alex Gammond and Jasper Payne struck in added time to seal an emphatic victory for Andy Dyer's outfit. Town stay bottom and will be at least six points adrift of safety at the league split.

Bala Town 0-2 Caernarfon Town: The Canaries moved above Bala into fifth after earning a vital victory over the Lakesiders in Llandudno. Morgan Owen beat Joel Torrance from the edge of the box on 43 minutes - his first league goal of the campaign - to put Caernarfon ahead. Bala came within a whisker of equalising in the 83rd minute, although Kieran Lloyd's driven effort was deflected on to the post by Phil Mooney. Adam Davies then rifled into the top corner from 25 yards out in the final minute as Richard Davies' side celebrated a crucial three points, with Bala's nine-game unbeaten league run coming to an end. Bala round off phase one of the campaign at Connah's Quay on Tuesday night - with Caernarfon hosting Flint Town United on the same day.
