The Reds finished eighth last term following a slow start, and the majority of last year’s squad have signed on again.
There is also a big change off the field for the season which again sees the second team compete in a highly-competitive Counties One Western West.
Nigel Hambly has stepped down as director of rugby after six seasons to be replaced by Richie Kevern who was last year’s head coach.
Redruth, who have been in National Two since the 2011/12 campaign, face another season with plenty of travelling.
Bar the local derby with Camborne, the closest away game is a trip to Taunton Titans.
New to the league this year are North Devon outfit Barnstaple who won Regional One South West, while Syston and Lymm from Leicestershire and Cheshire respectively, will provide different opposition.
The league campaign gets underway on September 6 with a home clash against Loughborough Students before all roads lead to Camborne a week later for the first derby of the season (2pm).
They round the month off with a trip to Syston before welcoming Lymm on September 27.
There is eight successive Saturdays of action to start the season until October 25 when they go to Taunton.
They restart on November 1 against Barnstaple which is the first of six games in seven weeks leading up to Saturday, December 20 when they welcome Camborne.
In total there are 26 games with the season ending on April 25 when they go to Loughborough, that after a home game with Chester, who have swapped places with Macclesfield who have gone to National Two North, and an away trip to Hinckley.
