THE combined team of Carew and Saundersfoot regained the Ormond Youth Cup on Sunday (Aug 4) as they beat Whitland in the final.

The game was played at Carew and there was a good crowd in attendance to see some excellent cricket.

Whitland batted first and openers Gethin Scourfield and Harry Jones got their side off to a steady start.

However, having scored 13, Scourfield found the hands of Tom Mansbridge to give Carl Thomas his first wicket.

Aryan Kawale then struck as he had Jones caught by Morgan Grieve on a score of 19.

Rhys Richards also claimed the wicket of Jamie Thomas, caught by namesake Carl, as Whitland’s momentum stalled.

A knock of 39 from Jacob Owen kept Whitland going but he saw a number of his partners depart for single figure scores.

Richards bowled Harry Fuller on a score of 9 before Mansbridge claimed the wickets of Trystan Rees and Luc Owen.

Thomas also claimed the wickets of Dafydd Jones and Ollie Bujega as Whitland stuggled to reach a century of runs.

Owen’s excellent knock was brought to an end when he was stumped by Grieve off the bowling of Thomas who finished with figures of 4-20.

Chasing down 101 in their first innings, Carew and Saundersfoot got their innings off to a good start with Tom Mansbridge and Morgan Grieve both making scores of 29.

Mansbridge fell when he was caught and bowled by Jacob Owen and Grieve found the hands of Harry Jones to give Luc Owen his first wicket.

Rhys Grigg and Carl Thomas continued to put runs on the board as they set about giving their side a first innings lead.

Thomas was run out on a score of 20 before Rhys Grigg, who fell two runs short of a half century, was stumped by Sam Davies off the bowling of Gethin Scourfield.

That saw Carew and Saundersfoot to their total of 147-4, giving them a lead on 46 at the halfway stage.

Whitland knew they would need to bat well if they were to erase that lead and build a good total for them to defend.

They could not, however, resist the bowling of Rhys Grigg who first had Gethin Scourfield caught by Aryan Kawale and he then had Harry Fuller caught by Elliot Waters.

He claimed his third wicket as Jamie Thomas was caught by Tom Mansbridge for a duck.

Carl Thomas then trapped Jacob Owen leg before and Aryan Kawale had Harry Jones caught by Grigg.

Rhys Richars bowled Trystan Rees before Dafydd Jones did his best to up Carew and Saundersfoot’s target.

He made his way to a score of 18 but he was then trapped leg before by Thomas.

Grigg and Thomas finished with excellent figures of 3-13 and 2-13 respectively as Whitland could only reach 72-7 in their second innings.

It meant that Carew and Saundersfoot would need just 27 to win the game.

Gethin Scourfield bowled Morgan Grieve early on and Carl Thomas was caught and bowled by namesake Jamie.

That was as good as it got for Whitland though as Tom Mansbridge and Aryan Kawale comfortably saw their side to victory.

It was an excellent win for Carew and Saundersfoot who won the Ormond Youth Cup for the second time in three years.

Rhys Grigg was named man of the match.

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?
