GOODWICK United’s Adam Raymond scored twice as he helped his side to a big 8-1 win over Pennar Robins at Bush Camp on Thursday night (Apr 19).

The win moves Goodwick six points clear of Hakin at the top of the table but the Division 1 leaders have now played four games more than the Vikings.

It wasn’t long before Goodwick went ahead on Thursday as after eight minutes Scott Delaney headed in from a Chris O’Sullivan corner.

Unfortunately for Pennar that goal came whilst one of their players was off the field changing his boots.

Matty Delaney then came close to adding a second for the visitors as his back-heeled shot was pushed wide.

Moments later, Pennar sent the ball up field and Goodwick keeper James Gwilt missed the ball but thankfully for him his defenders were covering and his blushes were spared.

It was 2-0 on fifteen minutes as Adam Raymond crossed into the box for Lee Hudgell who saw his shot saved before the rebound was fired home by Johnny Horgan.

Five minutes later it was three as Matty Delaney crossed into the box for Horgan at the back post who headed back across goal for Raymond to stop and head in.

Chris O’Sullivan then came close with a free kick while Wayne O’Sullivan saw a front post header saved by Pennar keeper Scott Trayhern.

With half an hour gone, Chris O’Sullivan dinked the ball down the line for Horgan who crossed to the back post for Matty Delaney to volley home despite Trayhern getting a touch.

Goodwick were not finished there and another Horgan corner was headed into the top left hand corner by Lee Hudgell to make it 5-0.

Pennar’s Carl Rees was then sent through on goal but his effort was saved by Gwilt.

On the stroke of half time Horgan sent a corner into the box and Wayne O’Sullivan got on the end of it to head home and make it 6-0 at half time.

Three minutes into the second half Goodwick scored again as Horgan again crossed into the box but the ball was knocked into his own net by a Pennar player.

Raymond then headed the ball on for Horgan but his fierce shot was well saved by Trayhern who pushed it over for a corner.

To their credit Pennar never gave up and they were rewarded when Sam Southcott bagged a consolation effort.

Goodwick’s Raymond then completed the scoring to make it 8-1 and seal an impressive win for the visitors.

The win now sets up a mouth-watering clash with Hakin United on Tuesday (Apr 24), which could decide the destination of the Division 1 title.

Previewing the 2025 Super Bowl

Each year millions of people across the world gather to watch one of the biggest sporting events of the year – the Super Bowl. Last year, 3.4 million people in the UK watched the Super Bowl, up 1.1 million from the previous year. Considering the growth in popularity of American football in the UK, we anticipate the viewership will be even higher for 2025.

The 2025 Super Bowl is scheduled to take place on 9 February 2025 at Caesars Superdrome in New Orleans, Louisiana.

NFL teams

12 teams began competing for a spot in the 2025 Super Bowl when the playoffs began on January 11. At this point, four teams were eliminated. This now leaves eight teams to compete in the Divisional playoffs. Four of these will make it to the Conference Championships before contesting for a spot at this year’s Super Bowl.

The eight teams left with a shot at competing in the 2025 Super Bowl are:

Philadelphia Eagles
Baltimore Ravens
Buffalo Bills
Detroit Lions
Houston Texans
Kansas City Chiefs
Los Angeles Rams
Washington Commanders

Last year, the Kansas City Chiefs took the title for the second year in a row. However, the latest Super Bowl odds puts the Detroit Lions as the favourites to win this year’s Super Bowl, following a series of impressive performances in the regular season.

The national anthem and halftime show

Before the game commences, a special guest performs the national anthem. Last year, Reba McEntire offered a moving performance of The Star-Spangled Banner, and this year the task falls to jazz singer Jon Batiste.

It’s not just the football match that people look forward to. Super Bowl halftime shows are a spectacle in themselves and many look forward to the performance as much as the game itself. This year, 17-time grammy winner Kendrick Lamar is headlining the halftime show. Lamar previously headlined the Super Bowl in 2022.

How can I watch the Super Bowl in the UK?

The Super Bowl is being broadcast to fans free on ITV, including live online via ITVX on your laptop, mobile, or tablet.

Sky Sports is also broadcasting the event which you can watch online via Sky Go, NOW TV, or using the Sky Sports mobile app. You could also head to your local pub as plenty of pubs in Pembrokeshire will be showing the big game.

Will you be tuning in?

With a surge in popularity for American Football, it’s anticipated that more people from the UK than ever before will be turning their TVs on for the big event this year. Will you be watching this year’s Super Bowl?
