Church are in good nick and Craig Fergusson made a maiden century as his side were too good for Nelson at West End.

Fergusson made 100 from 142 balls as Nelson were forced to play minus a pro after new signing Burton de Wett was delayed.

Church paid man Luke Woodcock was on duty and he hit 96, while Richard Meade claimed three wickets for the Seedhillites.

Nelson were never really in the hunt and were all out for 137 with Woodcock claiming 4-43.
