Leaders Queens Park proved too strong for mid-table visitors Llanrhaeadr.

They made a flying start with Matthew Worrall striking twice inside the opening 10 minutes.

And the hosts had the game wrapped up before the break after Michael Pritchard added a third goal on 35 minutes.

Llanrhaeadr reduced the deficit through William Roberts Morris with 12 minutes remaining, but it was Queens Park who rounded off the scoring when Nicky Williams netted on 85 minutes.

Penycae are level on 24 points with the leaders, but second on goal difference, following a 3-0 success on the road at Knighton Town.

Dominic Deacon set them on the way to victory after 14 minutes with Jordan Ellis claiming the assist.

Deacon doubled his and his side's tally just before the hour mark following good work from Isaac Dawson.

Penycae then completed a good day's work when substitute Joshua Mazzarella bagged goal number three with 12 minutes remaining.

Builth Wells bagged three goals and three points at home to Cefn Albion.

Wells made a flying start with Alex Hicks firing them in front with just nine minutes on the clock.

But they had to wait until the second half before increasing their advantage.

Lyndon Jones was the man on target nine minutes after the restart, but the hosts were reduced to 10 men when Jamie Evans was sent off.

Cefn then had Kein Morris dismissed after 74 minutes and then Wells sealed the win a minute later when Jones made it 3-0.

Bow Street came from a goal down to grab a welcome win at the expense of Corwen.

Tom Williams struck after 10 minutes to give visiting Corwen the lead, but the game was all square by the break after Josh Crowl scored in time added on at the end of the half.

Crowl then hit the back of the net again to give his side the lead before Jamie Whitney put the result beyond doubt two minutes from full-time.

Llanfair United are sitting seventh after a 4-1 success on home soil against Kerry.

It was Kerry who led at half-time courtesy of a 13th-minute goal from Jamie Breese.

United then struck twice in quick succession through Harvey Morris on 52 minutes and Karl Seliaerts two minutes later to turn the game around.

Seliaerts and Owen Bishop then added some gloss to the final scoreline.
