KYLE Storer praised his side’s ‘team performance’ after Alvechurch thrashed local rivals Bromsgrove Sporting in a derby clash in midweek.
Church raced into a three-goal lead at the break as Zac Guinan, Jonathan Ngandu and Jez Abbey all found the net in the first half at the Victoria Ground.
And despite George Wynne reducing the deficit for Sporting after the break, Callum Sullivan’s goal put the seal on a memorable derby win.
The result sees Church leapfrog Sporting in the Southern League Premier Central table with Alvechurch 16th in the standings, four points clear of the relegation zone.
And Storer, who replaced current Sporting manager Flowers in the Lye Meadow hotseat earlier this season, praised his side’s reaction after Church suffered a 3-0 defeat at league leaders Spalding United last weekend.
Storer said: “It’s fantastic to bounce back. To a man we were fantastic and managed the game well.
“We were excellent. I could single out individuals but as a team performance it was fantastic.
“Through the course of the season we haven’t responded well to setbacks.
“Results haven’t been good recently but I’ve been reasonably happy with the performances.
“We thoroughly deserved the three points.”
Alvechurch face another derby clash against Redditch United on Saturday, February 21 with kick-off at 3pm at Lye Meadow.
