LAMPHEY moved up to second place in Division 3 on Saturday (Jun 8) as they beat Narberth seconds by 132 runs.

The Stags scored 171-8 in their innings thanks to a half century from Peter McGilloway. He then also claimed four wickets as he helped bowl Narberth out for just 39 in their reply.

Gianluca Trimarco and McGilloway got Lamphey off to a good start with a stand of 28 for the first wicket. Trimarco scored 10 but he was then bowled by Richard Prout.

McGilloway then shared another good stand worth 26 runs with Lewis Haines before the latter was caught by Will Nicholas off the bowling of Nick Evans.

David Blackwell was next in but he only scored 11 before being bowled by Evans. Dean Lawrence joined McGilloway at the crease and the pair shared 38 runs for the fourth wicket.

McGilloway had made his way to a score of 69 but he was then stumped by Huw Simpkins off the bowling of Evans.

Soon after, Lawrence was out for a score of 20 when he was caught by Nicholas off the bowling of Oliver Berry.

Lamphey were then reduced to 122-6 as Tom Colley was caught and bowled by Evans.

Stephen Vale and Hywel Gibbs then shared 28 runs between them before Gibbs was bowled by Shay Norcross.

Vale had scored 17 but Norcross struck again to send him back to the pavilion.

Andrew Skeels and Ben Hathaway then finished unbeaten to take Lamphey to their total.

Narberth were struggling early in their reply as they lost Andrew Williams to the bowling of David Blackwell and Oliver Berry to the bowling of Connor Carroll.

4-2 became 9-3 when Ben Hathaway caught Tim Berry to give Carroll his second wicket.

Wickets continued to fall as Gary Hughes was caught and bowled by Blackwell. Huw Simpkins was then caught by Hathaway off the bowling of Blackwell as Narberth slipped to 19-5.

Rob and Will Nicholas tried to offer some resistance with a stand of ten runs but the introduction of McGilloway brought that to an end.

He bowled Will and then also had Shay Norcross caught by Dean Lawrence. Richard Howell was then caught by Andrew Skeels to give McGilloway his third wicket.

Rob Nicholas had made a score of 18 but McGilloway claimed his fourth wicket when he had him caught by Carroll.

With Richard Prout unable to bat it meant that the innings came to a close giving Lamphey victory.

McGilloway finished with excellent figures of 4-5 while Blackwell claimed 3-11 and Carroll 2-8.

On Saturday (Jun 15), Lamphey are at home to Division 3 leaders Herbrandston in what should be an excellent game.

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?
