Karleigh Osborne’s group wasted little time getting going in the first half. Captain Mollie Holmes was taken down inside the box and awarded a penalty on three minutes. Logie stepped up to the spot and fired it home to open the scoring.
The goals came thick and fast from then on, Logie adding four more before the half-time whistle went. Her partner in crime, Cheatley, found her first goal on six minutes off a Maddie Phillips’ assist.
Logie found the back of the net again on 12 minutes and had her hat-trick two minutes later, the Bees quickly establishing a dominant 4-0 lead.
With a hat-trick in the bag, Logie looked to add an assist to her tally. Her pass found Cheatley inside the box on 16 minutes, who moved to her right and fired the ball into the top right corner to make it 5-0.
Read found some reward for effort after an earlier header had been saved on the goal line, heading the ball home from a Woods’ corner to make it 6-0 inside 25 minutes of play.
Woods continued to be a threat in the attacking half. She used her pace to break away from her defender and fired at goal. The shot was saved by Zoe McNulty in goal for Richmond but rebounded off her hands to Logie, who tapped it home for her fourth.
Two minutes later, Cheatley joined Logie in the hat-trick club, finding the back of the net to make it 8-0 on 27 minutes.
After some earlier assists, Woods managed to score a goal of her own. Logie’s cross hit Woods near the penalty spot, who played the ball to her left, shot and scored for goal number nine.
The Bees made it 10 just after the 30-minute mark with some brilliant team play. Superb passing freed Phillips down the right side, who found Cheatley before the latter fired it into the back of the net with one touch.
Logie managed to score her fifth goal as half-time approached, the forward finding space out the back, pushing into the box and putting it in the net for number 11.
The second half started out a more even affair, Richmond able to hold off any chance of early momentum for Brentford.
The stranglehold was broken just after the hour mark as Potter scored. A corner fell to Freya Worsley, with the midfielder playing it back to Potter who wasted little time and struck it powerfully to beat McNulty in goal.
Engelhard got in on the act five minutes later, firing another strong strike into the back of the net to make it 13-0.
As full-time approached, Cheatley eyed one more goal to join Logie on five for the game. She got that on 79 minutes to make it 14 for Osborne’s side.
The win was finished off with a Holguin goal, continuing a rich run of form for the forward across the early stages of this season.
