Thompson’s boys led at every change on their way to a 23-point triumph on the Cats’ home ground.
“It’s only one win, but at the same time they’re the teams we need to be winning against to climb that ladder and be a bit more competitive,” Thompson said.
Recruits Damon Delaney, Sam Chapman and Aaron Gercovich were good through the midfield for the winners. Chapman booted three goals, as did Thompson and Jake Carr.
For Newlyn, the defeat was made even worse by news that defender Wes Carter has sustained a fractured cheekbone.
Defender Daniel Hammond, joint-coach Dan Wehrung and young Luke Prendergast were among the Cats’ best in a losing afternoon.
