Lassana Mendes' late goal at Penybont earned Flint Town United their first point of 2026-27 [FAW]Penybont 1-1 Flint Town United

A dramatic late goal from Lassana Mendes earned Flint Town their first point of the campaign to send Penybont from third to sixth in the table.

Tom Mehew's eighth-minute opener for the hosts was cancelled out with a minute of normal time left by Mendes.

Penybont's star signing Jonathan Leko began the night on the bench, but he and his new team-mates were unable to prevent the visitors acting on their steely determination to earn that first point of the campaign as they remain 13th.

Connah's Quay Nomads 3-0 Cambrian Utd

Connah's Quay Nomads rose a place to third as they condemned Cambrian to their second defeat of the league campaign.

Callum West struck in the second minute for the hosts, the earliest goal of a full programme's action in Welsh football's top domestic tier, before Iwan Murray doubled the Nomads' lead before the break.

Murray completed the win in added time with his second as Nomads took over from Penybont - behind leaders Barry Town and second-place The New Saints - while Cambrian slipped to eighth.

Barry Town Utd 4-2 Airbus UK

Leaders Barry Town held on to top spot as they saw off the stern challenge of visitors Airbus.

Owain Brain broke the deadlock for Barry Town to spark a six-goal encounter. Owen Cuddihy doubled their lead after the break with George Peers hitting back before Brain added his second.

Aribus again had hope after Jordan Evans hauled them back only for Jack Shaw to restore Barry's two-goal lead and with it, the win.

Cardiff Met 3-0 Briton Ferry

Cardiff Met climbed three spots to seventh as they comfortably saw off south Wales rivals Briton Ferry.

Goals from Jack Veale and Jasper Payne either side of half time put the hosts on the road to victory.

The night got worse for Briton Ferry as Luke Salter saw red in the 82nd minute, opening the door for Veale to claim his second and wrap up the three points.

Briton Ferry slid a place to eighth as the host rose above them.

Holywell Town 3-5 Caernarfon Town

Zack Clarke's scored a hat-trick as Caernarfon took over in fifth as they added to spirited Holywell's woes.

Sion Bradley found the target in the 13th minute for the visitors with Clarke's brace coming either side of Farbrizio Murtas' first reply for Hollywell.

Caio Hughes put in Holywell's second before Clarke completed his treble.

Florian Yonsian's penalty have the hosts - still looking for their first win - another glimmer of hope only for Noah Edwards to add Caernarfon's fifth and leave Holywell rooted to the bottom of the table.

Llandudno 2-0 Haverfordwest County

Only goal difference is keeping Haverfordwest off the bottom of the table after their fifth successive defeat.

The visitors were already down to 10 men by the time Ross Weaver put Llandudno in front. Panashe Makwiramiti was shown a red card as the end of the opening period beckoned and the hosts took advantage through Weaver after the break.

Liam Higgins then ensured the home win as Llandudno climbed from fifth to fourth.

The New Saints 5-1 Colwyn Bay

Josh Lock led the way as The New Saints ran riot by hitting Colwyn Bay with five goals in the first hour.

Lock struck a brace before Rhys Hughes finished a 42nd-minute penalty.

Jordan Williams and Dominic Corness then added goals to seal a comfortable three points before Nathan Peate earned a small measure of respectability for Colwyn Bay.

16 v 12 Trefelin 1-1 Ammanford

Three red cards and a single goal highlighted the nature of this encounter between the two south Wales newcomers to the Cymru Premier.

Euros Griffiths sealed the visitors' win before the break. After it, however, he was sent off, albeit soon after Trefelin's Kane Owen was given his marching orders. Ammanford's Callum Thomas followed them in the 93rd minute.

More drama followed via Louis Caramella-Gerrard's 99th-minute equaliser, making a small slice of history in the process with Trefelin's first goal in the top flight at the fourth attempt.
