Relegation Round

Bala Town 3-4 Flint Town United: Flint scored four goals in 10 minutes to beat Bala in a seven-goal thriller just over a week after they were thrashed in the same fixture by four goals to nil. A double from Ben Wynne meant the damage was done despite a nervy last 20 minutes for the visitors.

Briton Ferry Llansawel 3-1 Llanelli Town: Goals from Tom Price, Kian Jenkins and Sam Snaith gave Briton Ferry a crucial win in their first game of the relegation round of fixtures in the Cymru Premier.

Cardiff Met 0-2 Haverfordwest County: Two second half goals from Rhys Abbruzzese and Corey Shephard earned Haverfordwest an away win at Cardiff Met. Toby Raison was sent off in the 90th minute on his debut for the university side after signing from Gibraltar Football League side Glacis United.
