The Nomads, in second place, are four points back on leaders Barry Town United, who march on at the top after coming away from Newtown with a 3-2 victory.
Sion Spence netted his first goal for the Linnets to open the scoring on 16 minutes but that was cancelled out by Joe Kenton for the Robins seven minutes later.
The visitors went back in front on 37 minutes when substitute Keyon Reffell, having replaced the injured Curtis Watkins, made it 2-1 before Kayne McLaggon’s penalty gave Barry a two-goal cushion at the break.
Alex Fletcher pulled one back for Newtown, but it could not prevent Gavin Chesterfield’s unbeaten side from securing win number seven.
