Jersey Bulls Women have won every game they have played this season [BBC] Jersey Bulls Women completed a perfect season as they thrashed Milford and Witley 12-3 to win their league title. The islanders - in their first-ever season in English league football - won every game they played in South East Counties Women's Football League Surrey Division One. The Bulls scored 144 goals across their 18-game campaign - including an incredible 30-0 win against Guildford Saints in January that was later removed from their records after their opponents pulled out of the league.
Their final win of the season ensured Bulls finished top of the promotion group of their division with the club hoping they can be promoted by more than one level next season. "The idea of the Jersey Bulls Women was set up for the better players on the island to get opportunities to go off, but it was also for them to then become role models, which they've taken on and for younger players to look up to them," manager Chad Morris told BBC Radio Jersey. "All the credit's got to go the players.
They could have switched off today and I'd have moaned at them, but really you couldn't moan at them because they'd done the job; it's been a hard season. "We sat here in June and wanted dedication and for them all to buy into it, but that's easy to do in June when it's sunny and you're sitting here in your shorts. "It's a different matter at 04:30 in January when you're travelling away and it's freezing cold, so I've got nothing but praise for them, they're a great bunch of players and the effort and the dedication they put in is just unreal.
