Bala Town United 0-1 Caernarfon: Daniel Gosset struck as the first half drew to a close as Caernarfon won at struggling north Wales rivals Bala Town. The visitors remain fourth while Bala stay 10th in the table.
Briton Ferry Llansawel 2-1 Barry Town United: Briton Ferry emerged victorious despite Alex Gammond twice failing to hit the target from the penalty spot. Tom Walters opened the scoring for the hosts early on in a game delayed to a 13:30 MT kick off amid icy conditions. Gammond missed his first penalty chance before Ben Margetson levelled for the visitors. And after Barry captain Callum Sainty was sent off for a second yellow card, Gammond missed another chance from the penalty spot. However, Ollie Anderson was on hand to restore Briton Ferry's lead and seal the win.
Connah's Quay Nomads 3-1 The New Saints: Nomads came out on top in the battle of the top two, reducing leaders TNS's advantage to four points in the process. Rhys Hughes scored the opener and Max Woodcock added their second before Jordan Williams gave TNS late hope. But Callum West ensured the spoils went to Nomads.

Colwyn Bay 1-2 Flint Town United: Harry Owen scored an injury time winner to help Flint Town climb to 10th in the table. The game looked to be heading for a draw when Colwyn Bay's George Hughes cancelled out Joshua Jones' earlier effort, but Owen's 92nd minute header ensured Flint left the Blue Turtle Arena with all three points and a fifth win of the season.
Llanelli Town 0-1 Penybont: Third-place Penybont returned to winning ways thanks to Alexander Cvetkovic's strike 10 minutes into the second half at Stebonheath Park. Llanelli remain bottom of the table with just the two wins this season.
