Jersey Bulls Women beat Guildford Saints 30-0 for record win

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.
