Connah’s Quay v Cefn Druids | Friday – 19:45
Cefn Druids will be eager to get going after five weeks without a game and Bruno Lopes’ boys will be looking to climb off the bottom of the table for the first time since September.
But it will be a tough task for the Ancients who haven’t won a league game away against the Nomads in 12 years (November 2008).
Connah’s Quay have won seven of their last nine games with their only defeat this season coming against league leaders, The New Saints (1-0).
Andy Morrison will be without his keeper, Lewis Brass and left-back, Callum Roberts who were both sent off after the injury time brawl against Caernarfon last weekend.

Barry Town United v Newtown AFC | Saturday – 14:30 (S4C)
Barry Town United won five consecutive games from September to October but have struggled recently and are now on a run of four games without a victory.
Newtown are another one of the five clubs who have only won twice in 10 games this season, but after coming from behind to beat Flint last Saturday, Chris Hughes’ side will be hoping to build some momentum in the coming weeks.
The Robins have only lost once in six games against Barry Town, and a win at Jenner Park could see Newtown leap into the top half as there are currently only two points separating the five clubs between the 6th and 10th position.

Cardiff Met v The New Saints | Saturday – 14:30
The New Saints start the weekend five points clear at the top of the table and remain unbeaten in the JD Cymru Premier this season.
This will be the fourth consecutive home fixture for the students who have had a slow start to their campaign scoring only eight goals in 10 games.
Cardiff Met had recently gone six games without losing against TNS, but the solid streak came to an end when the clubs met earlier this season (TNS 2-0 Met).

Haverfordwest v Flint Town United | Saturday – 14:30
Flint Town United have lost seven games on the bounce and Niall McGuinness will be determined to end the disappointing run in Pembrokeshire this Saturday.
Haverfordwest won the reverse fixture with the impressive Jack Wilson and Danny Williams both scoring late for the Bluebirds at Cae-y-Castell in October.
Both clubs have only won twice in 10 games, but Flint find themselves in the relegation zone as they are the only team yet to draw a game this season.

Haverfordwest: ❌✅➖❌➖

Pen-y-bont P-P Caernarfon | Saturday – 14:30
