Penrith smashed SIX goals as they ended their wait for a first win of the season in style.
Jim Nichols' side thrashed Thornaby 6-0 at Frenchfield Park in Tuesday's Northern League Division One game.
Penrith, after three draws and a defeat in their initial league games, hit the goal trail in their fifth outing.
Connor Shields led the way with a hat-trick in the space of 11 minutes either side of half-time, the forward scoring in the 38th minute, first-half added time and then the 49th minute.
Luke Brown, Luke Hunter and Connor Hammell added further goals after the break with Penrith 6-0 up by the 63rd minute mark.
The game, in front of 158 fans, saw Nichols chalk up his first win in his second spell in charge of the Bonny Blues.
The victory saw Penrith move up to seventh in the fledgling table.
Tuesday's Cumbrian derby, meanwhile, went the way of Kendal Town as they got the better of Carlisle City.
A crowd of 255 at Gillford Park saw Kendal prevail 4-1 to end City's unbeaten start to the league season.
Tom Kilifin and James Bailey scored to put Kendal in control before Callum Birdsall pulled one back for Dan Kirkup's hosts before the break.
Kilifin, though, struck again after the break and after City's Tom Mahone was sent off, Josh Winder's injury-time strike completed Kendal's victory.
The south Cumbrians are now second in the table with City moving down to fourth.
The three Cumbrian clubs are back in league and cup action this weekend.
In the league, Penrith go to Boro Rangers on Saturday and Carlisle City go to leaders Whitley Bay, while Kendal are in FA Cup action when they go to Northallerton Town in the Preliminary Round.
