Friday, 27 September

Barry Town United 1-0 Aberystwyth Town: Aberystwyth remain rooted to the foot of the Cymru Premier table after Ollie Hulbert’s goal five minutes from the end of normal time broke the visitors’ resistance, consigning them to an eighth league defeat of the season.

Haverfordwest County 1-0 Cardiff Metropolitan: Haverfordwest closed the gap on second-placed Cardiff Met to just two points thanks to an Owain Jones strike early in the second half for the hosts.

Newtown 1-6 The New Saints: Saints came into the game having suffered consecutive defeats for the first time since October 2019, but stopped the rot in style to climb above Newtown into fifth. Danny Davies gave Saints the lead when Newtown failed to deal with a corner, allowing the defender to volley home. Sion Bradley doubled the lead just before half-time, with Aramide Oteh and Bradley extending the lead in the second half. Shane Sutton did get Newtown on the scoresheet, but further TNS goals from Declan McManus and Jack Bodenham underlined their superiority.
