Barry Town Utd 1-0 Cardiff Met: A first-half goal by Ben Williams-Margetson proved the difference in the day's early kick-off at Jenner Park, as Barry edged Met to climb above them in the table into fifth.
Flint Town Utd 0-2 Connahs Quay Nomads: An early Rhys Hughes penalty for Nomads and Harry Franklin's goal late in the second half allowed the visitors to close the gap on leaders TNS, whose game was called off due to a frozen pitch.
Haverfordwest County 3-0 Llanelli Town: The hosts took control in the first half as Owain Jones and Corey Shephard struck, with Ben Fawcett's third for Haverfordwest sealing victory against a leaky Llanelli defence who remain adrift at the bottom of the table.
Penybont 1-1 Briton Ferry Llansawel: Despite playing most of the game with 10 men after Chris Venables' eighth-minute red card, Penybont managed to salvage a draw. Despite being a man down, James Crole gave the home side the lead just before half-time, only for Alex Gammond's second-half penalty to rescue a point for Ferry. Penybont lose ground on second place Nomads but will be grateful for a point given the circumstances.
The New Saints P-P Bala Town: The game was postponed due to a frozen pitch at Park Hall Stadium, which was deemed unplayable following an afternoon inspection.

Caernarfon Town 1-2 Colwyn Bay: Colwyn Bay jumped up to fifth in the Cymru Premier with a 2-1 win away at Caernarfon Town. Nathan Peate put the visitors ahead after a quarter of an hour, and Jamie Cummings' strike doubled their advantage just after the hour mark. Four minutes later Caernarfon were back in the contest, as Sion Bradley coolly slotted home a penalty, but Colwyn Bay held on for all three points and are now only behind Caernarfon on goal difference.
