Championship Conference

TNS 0-2 Colwyn Bay: Lewis Sirrell put Colwyn Bay 1-0 up with a fine header from a free-kick after 23 minutes and shortly afterwards the champions went down to 10 men when goalkeeper Jack Edwards was shown a red card for a foul as he raced out of his box to clear a through ball, although any contact appeared minimal. Jordan Davies doubled the lead in the 33rd minute, showing good perseverance to score his 13th of the season. Jordan Williams hit the post as TNS tried to mount a comeback but third-placed Colwyn Bay saw out the win.
