JERSEY Bulls Women are on the road for just the second time this season as they prepare to face Guildford Saints this weekend.
The hosts have managed just three goals in their opening seven league matches, four of which have come on home soil, as the division’s lowest scorers prepare to meet its most prolific attack. It is a stark contrast in form and firepower, but one that demands focus rather than assumption from the league leaders.
For the Bulls, the message is simple: maintain standards and show the same professionalism that has defined their campaign so far.
Chad Morris’ side have built their perfect start on more than just goals and there will be little appetite to drift away from those principles on the mainland.
Morris has often praised his side’s ruthlessness in front of goal, with Anita Tavares, Holly Sundby and Leah Morris continuing to set the tone in attack, but competition for places remains fierce throughout the squad. That depth has allowed the Bulls to keep performances high regardless of opposition.
Following a demanding away trip to Hartland two weeks ago, this journey is expected to be more straightforward logistically, though complacency will be firmly off the agenda.
The Bulls continue to stamp their authority on the league with ten wins from ten matches, and while nothing is taken for granted, the side will hope to return home with that record intact and momentum firmly in their favour.
No side in the division has maintained a perfect record since Maidstone United won all 11 of their fixtures during the 2019/20 campaign. Now competing two divisions above the Bulls and still unbeaten, Maidstone’s rise offers a glimpse of the potential trajectory this Jersey side could follow.
The Bulls hold a goal difference 130 superior to their opponents, underlining the gulf between the two sides and hinting at the potential for another emphatic afternoon.
Home fixtures return on February 8th against Cranleigh, but for now the Bulls focus is firmly on tomorrow’s away day.
Jersey Bulls squad to face Guildford Saints: Danielle Bradshaw, Ella Brennand, Amy Guthrie, Natasha Keen, Rachael McCartan, Leah Morris, Chantelle Renouard, Samantha Silva-Pinto, Holly Sundby, Tiffany Sundby, Anita Tavares, Taylor Smythe
