Jersey Bulls Women set an incredible club-record win as they beat Guildford Saints 30-0.

The island side - who have a perfect record of 11 wins from 11 games in South East Counties Women's Football League Surrey Division One - showed no mercy against 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.

The win ensured the Bulls are nine points clear at the top of the division.

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.

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

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.

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

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