But Bideford responded quickly, with Hearsey equalising in the fourth minute with a well-placed shot into the roof of the net.

Bideford then took control of the first half, with Roberts striking from distance to put the visitors ahead 2-1 by the 31st minute.

In the second half, Malvern pushed for an equaliser, and their efforts paid off in the 75th minute when Bell found the net to level the score at 2-2.

Both teams had chances to score a winner, but neither could find the back of the net again as the spoils were shared.

Malvern's next clash is on Tuesday, when they will welcome Melksham Town to the HDAnywhere Community Stadium.
