A 30-0 win & nearly 100 goals in 11 games - meet the bulldozing Bulls

Imagine setting a club record with a 17-0 win - then smashing it by nearly doubling that tally just weeks later. Yes, nearly doubling.

Oh, and it's your first season in league football. Crazy, right?

Meet Jersey Bulls Women, who are running roughshod over South East Counties Women's Football League Surrey Division One.

They have been banging in the goals all season but went one - or several, actually - better on Saturday, thrashing Guildford Saints 30-0.

"You never really want to beat a team by double figures, but certainly not up to those sort of numbers," humble Bulls manager Chad Morris told BBC Sport.

The island side - who have a perfect record of 11 wins from 11 games in their eighth-tier division - were far too good for their bottom-of-the-table opponents.

Anita Tavares led the way with nine goals - three times as many as Guildford have scored all season - as 10 different players found the net.

"Halfway through the first half when it became obvious where they were as a team and where we were, we pulled the players in and had a discussion on how we manage the rest of the game," Morris added.

"We put some constraints on what we would do before we were trying to score goals around keeping possession, switching play a couple of times, which we did.

"Second half we changed formation and then as the game went on moved attacking players into defensive positions and vice versa.

"The players were very classy with how they dealt with all that, I'm really humbled with the way they played, they didn't rub the opposition's noses in it one little bit."

The win ensured the Bulls are nine points clear at the top of the table - and they hope to be promoted two divisions come the end of the season.

It breaks their previous record win, a 17-0 victory at Moseley Athletic that was set on 7 December.

The 30 goals scored against their winless opponents takes their total to 95 goals in 12 matches, an average of more than eight a game.

Tavares scored twice in the opening eight minutes as Bulls went 3-0 up, and they had doubled that tally 11 minutes later when she completed her first hat-trick.

Holly Sundby’s 21st-minute strike made it 7-0 as she recorded a hat-trick, and the pair would go on to each score five first-half goals as the islanders led 13-0 at half time.

Leah Morris and Tiffany Sundby, who would both go on to get hat-tricks of their own, got the opening two goals of the second half to put Bulls 15-0 ahead in the 51st minute.

Holly Sundby completed her second hat-trick midway through the second half as Jersey led 21-0, while the last of Tavares’ nine goals came next as Bulls went 22-0 up two minutes later.

Eight more goals followed as the island side set a record which may never be beaten in their maiden season in the English league system.

"Guildford are definitely a recreational team that have struggled this year and, from speaking to their players and manager, the last couple of years they have really struggled to get numbers and keep a team together," added Morris.

"So you've got that near the bottom of the division and then near the top, the top seven are all teams that want to get promoted.

"So you've got a massive disconnect between the top half of the table and the bottom."

Bulls have conceded just one goal in their past six games - scoring 62 in the process.

They face 10th-placed Cranleigh in their next game on 8 February needing just five more goals to bring up 100 for the season.
