NEW Cheltenham League side Malvern Cave won their first pre-season game 3-1 at Pittville.

In hot conditions, the 13-man squad started brightly and Henry Marriott broke to lob home the opener for the Cavemen.

They quickly went three up with Toby Boswell giving Marriott his penalty to complete a debut hat-trick.

Pittville got one back but were denied more by fine defending and goalkeeping.

Matt McIntosh, Joe Follett and Sam Harris shone with man of the match being Ash Hill in goal.

Cave are still seeking a home ground this season and the manager Nathan can be contacted on 07780 457956.
