PENRYN Athletic manager Steve Jewell is standing down after nine years' service in the post.

Former player Paul Murray will take the reins at their training session tomorrow night.

Denis Pitt will remain as assistant and Bruce Rioch will continue to help on the training ground.

Secretary Mike Young said: "Steve was into his ninth season as Penryn's supremo but work commitments regarding his building company means he has reluctantly stood down.

Jewell has been with Penryn since the concept of the South-Western Peninsula League in 2007 and has won more matches and more points than any other manager or club in the league.

Mike added: "His level of sporting awards will probably not be surpassed, winning the sporting award on four occasions, as well as generating sponsorship and winning money finishing in fourth place. He also took Penryn to the Charity Cup final against St Dennis in 2014."
