ALVECHURCH lifted the Worcestershire Senior Urn on Wednesday night as they defeated derby rivals Bromsgrove Sporting 3-0.
Midlands Premier outfit produced a ruthlessly clinical display at Evesham's Jubilee Stadium home to see off the Division One leaders.
First half goals for Mark Smith, who headed home from a corner, and Nick Wright put Church in control.
After the break, Jordan Nadat fine strike after combining slickly with Zac Morris finished off a strong display.

Church resume their title chase on Saturday when they take on third-placed Sporting Khalsa away (3pm ko).
Victory would firm up second sport and keep the pressure leaders Hereford, who have a seven point lead but have played one game more.

Manager Ian Long said: "It's great to get a pot secured but we don't have time to rest on our laurels, we can look back on what we've achieved this season when we've finished.
"We've got a huge game against Sporting Khalsa on Saturday, so we have to forget last night and focus on that."
