LAWRENNY earned their twelfth win of the season on Saturday (Aug 17) as they edged to a two-wicket win away to St Ishmaels.

Tish batted first after Lawrenny won the toss and they made a good score of 189-6 from their 45 overs.

Tish lost Peter Bradshaw for a duck early on when he was bowled by Jamie Lewis but Daniel Nicholas and Harry Richards shared 48 runs for the second wicket.

Richards hit five fours and a six as he scored 39 but he was then caught by Kurtis Marsh off the bowling of Brad McDermott-Jenkins.

The same players then swapped roles to dismiss Nicholas and reduce Tish to 84-3.

Rob Williams then bowled Daniel Howells before Marsh did the same to Brennan Devonald who departed without scoring.

That saw Tish slip to 92-5 but Phil Cockburn and Jack Nicholas then shared 94 runs for the sixth wicket to put their side in a good position.

Cockburn hit thirteen fours and a six in his score of 89 before he was caught by Steve Lewis off the bowling of Ryan Morton.

Nicholas finished not out on 28 as Tish made a score of 189, setting Lawrenny 190 to win.

Lawrenny lost Kurtis Marsh and James Buckle early in their reply as the visitors were reduced to 14-2.

Brennan Devonald took both wickets and Harry Nicholas then bowled Harry Thomas on a score of 29 to leave Lawrenny on 46-3.

Andrew Skeels and Brad McDermott-Jenkins then shared 54 runs for the fourth wicket as they looked to get their side going.

Skeels hit four boundaries in his score of 28 but he was then bowled by Devonald.

He then claimed his fourth wicket as he bowled James Phillips for a first ball duck.

The score quickly became 100-6 as McDermott-Jenkins was caught by Daniel Richards off the bowling of Andrew Pawlett on a score of 33 that included three fours and two sixes.

Pawlett then bowled Joe Kidney as Lawrenny slipped further into trouble on 119-7.

Steve Lewis and Ryan Morton then shared 59 runs for the eighth wicket as they edged towards their target.

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?
