Flint Town United 2-1 Briton Ferry: The Silkmen beat relegation rivals Briton Ferry to climb out of the bottom two. Michael Burke fired the hosts ahead after half time, although Keiran Williams equalised just four minutes later. But Harry Owen netted late on as the home side earned a fourth league win of the season to rise to 10th, with defeat - Briton Ferry's 11th in the league this season - seeing them drop to 11th.

Caernarfon Town P-P Barry Town United: Match postponed due to adverse weather conditions.

Cardiff Met 3-0 Aberystwyth Town: Met strengthened their grip on a top six place with a comfortable win over bottom side Aberystwyth. Lewis Rees gave the Archers the lead two minutes after half time, with Thomas Vincent and Matthew Chubb adding late efforts to ensure Cardiff Met won for the eighth time in the league this term. Town stay 12th with just 10 points from 17 league games.

Haverfordwest County 0-0 Bala Town: The Bluebirds and the Lakesiders could not be separated as the points were shared at Carmarthen's LHP Stadium. Haverfordwest stay third in the table while Bala are seventh, two points behind Caernarfon who have a game in hand.

The New Saints 3-2 Penybont: Saints came from two goals behind to earn a remarkable victory over league leaders Penybont. Former Cardiff City academy forward James Crole struck twice in the space of four first-half minutes to put Bont in a commanding position at Park Hall. But Josh Pask's header in the 50th minute brought TNS back into the contest, and Danny Davies struck 15 minutes later to level proceedings. And Danny Redmond notched the winner in the 89th minute for Craig Harrison's side - who move to within a point of Penybont while also boasting a game in hand over Rhys Griffiths' outfit.
