Only The New Saints vs Haverfordwest County was allowed to be played (because of the new restrictions in Wales) and TNS won 3-2 with a 90th minute goal!

Very few matches go ahead because of the restrictions, but we have a cracker on Saturday! Bala Town vs The New Saints! Second versus first; let's see if Bala can compete for the title!

Bala Town has won the Cup in 2016–17 and they were runners-up in the league in 2014–15 and 2015–16. Let's see if they can do one better this season!

Bala Town 1-1 TNS. So TNS keep their lead at the top.
The restrictions end today, so we will have a proper MD on 13-14 November! Looking forward to seeing what will happen with Cymru North and Cymru South matches too!

We're on again! Last season's champions, Connah's Quay Nomads, continue doing well (Caernarfon Town 1-2 Connah's Quay Nomads)!

Also, Bala Town 4-1 Penybont and The New Saints 2-1 Barry Town United!

The top:
The New Saints 29 (11 matches)
Bala Town 24 (11 matches)
Connah's Quay 23 (10 matches)

Goalscorers:
C. Venables (Bala) 12
G. Draper (TNS) 7

Connah's Quay Nomads 2–1 Cefn Druids and the Druids are in bigger trouble…
TNS continues winning (Cardiff MU 0-1 The New Saints) and they look good for the title!

The New Saints, Connah's Quay Nomads and Bala Town continue winning and they are safely in the top three positions! Penybont vs Cefn Druids today and let’s see if Cefn Druids can get some points!

Will Evans scored two goals for Bala Town, whereas Chris Venables did not score. Greg Draper scored two goals for TNS, so we have in the goalscorers list: Venables 12, Draper 10, Evans 9.

2019-20 Cymru North and Cymru South (Welsh second divisions) were cancelled in May 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In Cymru South, Haverfordwest County was promoted to Cymru Premier, whereas STM Sports, Cwmamman United and Caerau (Ely) were relegated. In Cymru North, Flint Town United was promoted to Cymru Premier, whereas Porthmadog, Corwen and Llanfair United were relegated.

It has now been decided that 2020-21 Cymru North and Cymru South are permitted to start! Let's follow again how Swansea University FC will do! :applause:

Penybont 1-1 Cefn Druids and the Druids remain bottom.

Cefn Druids vs The New Saints on the 2nd, Haverfordwest County vs Cefn Druids on the 5th, and Cefn Druids vs Caernarfon Town on the 8th and the Druids need to start winning!

Cefn Druids 0–4 The New Saints with a Greg Draper hat-trick!

Connah's Quay and Bala Town follow them.

Big win for Cardiff MU (2–1 against Newtown) and they get some space from the relegation zone.

Update:
The National League Board confirmed that both leagues will play a shortened 15-match season scheduled to start in 2021. Each club will play each other once, with the clubs scheduled to play eight home matches to be determined by a random draw.
In line with the FAW Pyramid Regulations, promotion and relegation will take place as normal.

With 14 MDs played so far, it seems that the title will be between The New Saints and Connah's Quay Nomads. Big win yesterday for Barry Town United, 6–3 against Flint Town United! The goals: 2-0, 2-1, 4-1, 4-3, 6-3!
Greg Draper (TNS) and Chris Venables (Bala) are top scorers with 13 goals each!

Huge win for the Nomads (Connah's Quay 2–0 The New Saints) and they are joint-first! TNS still has a better GD though.
Also Bala Town 4–1 Cardiff MU and Bala Town remains third, 3 pts below TNS and the Nomads, having played one extra match though. Chris Venables scored two goals and he is top goalscorer in the Welsh Premier league!

Huge win for Cefn Druids, 4-1 against Haverfordwest County and they are off the bottom position (I think for the first time this season). This was just the second win for Cefn Druids this season (2-3-9 W-D-L so far).
