Championship Conference

Caernarfon Town 2-4 Connah's Quay Nomads: Harry Franklin scored after only 20 seconds as Connah's Quay eased to victory at Caernarfon. Phil Mooney headed in a leveller for the home side, but Rhys Hughes restored Nomads' lead with a penalty before half-time. Noah Edwards and Callum West struck quickfire goals midway through the second period before a stoppage-time consolation from Rio Owen. Victory means Connah's Quay will secure second place in the Cymru Premier and European Conference football next season if third-placed Penybont lose to champions The New Saints on Saturday.
