Clinical Mark Smith bagged a brace to help Kinnoull begin their East of Scotland League First Division adventure with a hard-earned 2-1 win at Camelon.
The perfect start arrived when the Perth striker found the back of the net in the opening five minutes, tucking home at the second time of asking.
That was how the scoreline stood at the interval but the hosts levelled through Finlay MacKay thanks to a well-worked corner with 51 minutes on the clock.
