CAREW remain third in Division 1 after they eased to a seven-wicket win over Haverfordwest on Saturday (Jun 22).

The home side bowled Town out for 136 as they restricted them well and took wickets at key moments.

Tom Davies took four wickets for Carew and then starred with the bat as Carew won comfortably.

Mike Jones and Jake Merry got Town going after they had won the toss as they shared 26 runs for the first wicket. Merry scored 12 but he was then bowled by Sion Jenkins.

Davies then picked up the first of his four wickets as he had Jones caught by Rhys Davies on a score of 15.

Davies then trapped Ben Field leg before with the very next ball but was unable to claim a hat trick.

That left Town on 39-3 but Lee Summons and Dai Davies shared 23 runs for the fourth wicket. Davies scored 14 but he was then bowled by Rhys Davies.

Summons then shared another 21 runs with Danny Potter before Ceri Brace struck to remove Potter on a score of 12.

A stand of 31 then followed between Summons and Adam James as the pair looked to add runs to the scoreboard.

James hit two sixes and a four as his score of 22 came off 12 balls but he was then caught by Nick Scourfield off the bowling of Tom Davies.

Summons had made a patient score of 24 but he was then bowled by Rhys Davies as Town slipped to 114-7.

That became 119-8 as Archie Thomas was bowled by Tom Davies.

Jack Scriven was out to the bowling of Sion Jenkins before Ashley James was bolwed by Rhys Davies on a score of 12 as Town’s innings came to a close.

Town knew they would need to bowl well if they were to defend their score but they watched as Tim Hicks and Tom Davies shared 44 runs for the first wicket.

Archie Thomas made the breakthrough for Town as he trapped Hicks leg before on a score of 26 that included five fours.

Davies was joined at the crease by Ian Sefton and the pair put on 70 runs for the second wicket to all but set up victory.

Sefton hit six fours and a six as he scored 37 but he was then trapped leg before by Lee Summons.

Davies hit seven fours and two sixes in his knock of 54 but he was then bowled by Dai Davies.

That was as good as it got for Town though as Nick Scourfield finished unbeaten on 19, hitting two fours and a six, to see Carew over the line inside 29 overs.

On Saturday (Jun 29), Carew are at home to Llangwm while Haverfordwest are at home to Burton.

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?
