The action started at Park Hall, where Welsh Premier League champions The New Saints welcomed Bala Town.

But returning captain Jordan Cotterill scored in the final quarter of the game, to level proceedings.
The game then completely turned on its head as Momodou Touray scored in stoppage time to give Barry Town United victory over the Cefn Druids.

Caernarfon Town 3-0 Llanelli Town
Three second-half goals gave Caernarfon Town victory over fellow promoted side Llanelli Town.
Danny Brookwell, Jamie Creese and Cai Jones were all on the scoresheet as Caernarfon moved into the top six.
It now means the Reds are four points adrift from safety, with Carmarthen Town sitting outside the relegation zone on eight points.
