Jersey Bulls Women win league title in style

Top scorer Anita Tavares gave Bulls an eighth-minute lead before Milford pulled a goal back a minute later.

Roisin Flynn scored the first of five goals soon after before Sam Silva Pinto made it 3-1 after 15 minutes.

Flynn got her second before the visitors scored again to make it 4-2 at half time.

The hosts ran riot in the second half as they scored five goals in the first 20 minutes to take it to 9-2 - Holly Sundby scoring a hat-trick and Flynn and Tavares each getting another.

Flynn hit two more while Leah Morris also got on the scoresheet in between a third Milford goal.

"It was absolutely amazing," said Tavares, who took her tally to 41 goals for the season.

"It was such a nice feeling to win it with these girls. We've obviously played the whole season and won every single game, gone unbeaten, so it's just an amazing feeling to be crowned champions."

Tavares will be leaving the side to head off to university, as will Morris, meaning there will be some changes for the 2026-27 campaign.

"There'll be players coming back from uni plus academy players coming in, so that's like the evolution of a football team and this happens," manager Morris explained.

"We might have to tweak a bit how we play and we're going up a league so we need to have a look at them.

"It keeps changing year after year with younger players coming in, players coming back from uni, some players leaving, so it's a case of a season by season but the strength to your team is to build a way of playing around that."
