Penryn Athletic got off to a winning start under new manager Harry Pope, beating Redruth United 4-0 at Kernick on Saturday.
Jake Shaw gave Penryn the lead in the first half with a tap in, before setting up last season’s 34-goal top-scorer Ryan Reeve to make it 2-0 after the break.
Reeve then turned provider himself to tee up Bradley Leivers for Athletic’s third, before James Daniels rounded off the scoring late on.
