Maddie Phillips and Kirsty Matthews rounded out the goalscorers with a brace each.
Goalkeeper Lilly Hadrava made her return to the pitch for Brentford after time away from the game, slotting back in goal alongside defenders Phillips, Carolin Engelhard, Regan Graver, Samantha Read and Chloe Webb.
In sunny conditions the game started evenly, an early Richmond Park move through the middle of the pitch ending in Izzy Rafique's shot going straight to Hadrava.
Cheatley almost opened the scoring on eight minutes, however she couldn’t find the back of the net off Webb’s cross from the left side.
Hadrava was called into action on 14 minutes, the keeper securing the ball off a Richmond Park cross under strong pressure in the box.
Two minutes later Cheatley opened the scoring, the forward pouncing on a loose ball in Richmond Park's defence and finding the back of the net.
Despite dominating possession the Bees struggled to piece it together in the final third, a challenging pitch making life difficult for both sides.
The half-hour mark passed and it was Logie who found Brentford’s second, the forward finishing from a cross to double the lead.
Two minutes later it was Cheatley again as she scored her second goal, the Bees suddenly in control of the contest on the scoreboard.
The hosts came close to finding their opening goal soon after, however the powerful strike from outside the box was just over the bar.
As the first half came to a close it was Logie who found her second goal, Brentford’s number nine tapping in the rebound following the save from Woods’ shot.
Logie had her hat-trick a minute later as she took possession on the edge of the box, turned and fired the ball into the back of the net.
Out of the half-time break the Bees started where they had left off, Cheatley scoring her hat-trick inside the first two minutes. The striker cleared the keeper, hit the post and then tapped home the rebound to make it 6-0.
Phillips joined in on the goal scoring soon after, the wing-back pushing forward and finding the back of the net.
Hadrava was called into action soon after, the keeper forced to make a diving save to her left to keep the ball out of the net.
After the hour mark it was Graver who came close to scoring as she headed Woods’ corner goalward, however it was kept out, Logie there to tap it home for her fourth.
After over 60 minutes of playmaking, Woods found the back of the net for her first of the afternoon.
Two goals in the next seven minutes ensured Woods secured her hat-trick in a flurry of goals to make it 11-0.
As the full-time whistle approached the Bees were relentless, Matthews winning the ball from an Alissa Down long pass and lobbing the keeper for her first goal.
Woods got her fourth goal for the afternoon a minute later, the score reading 13-0 as added time began.
Matthews lobbed the keeper for her second goal in added time, before Phillips added a 15th goal to top off a dominant afternoon for the Bees.
Brentford now turn their attention to South London at home next weekend, the west London side eyeing a spot in the Capital Cup final.
