LLANGWM’s Steven Inward scored an unbeaten century to help his side to a comfortable win over Herbrandston on Saturday (May 29).

The home side posted an excellent total of 298-6 in their 45 overs but Herbie were unable to match that as they were bowled out for 50.

Herbie won the toss and elected to field but they would soon come to regret that decision.

Will Beresford and Phillip Llewellyn shared an opening partnership worth 41 runs. Llewellyn hit five fours and a six in his score of 29 but he was then caught by Ben Fairburn off the bowling of Robert Hood.

That brought Inward to the crease but he soon saw Beresford departing back to the pavilion as he was caught by Alex Ouzman off the bowling of Charlie Malloy.

Inward and Richard Brock then shared 52 runs for the third wicket with Brock hitting two fours and three sixes in a score of 30 from 25 balls.

Sam Birch then had Brock caught by Jonathan Bennett to reduce Llangwm to 98-3.

That soon became 102-4 as Luke Brock was caught off the bowling of Ashley Britton.

Inward had only reached a score of 20 at that point but he and Matthew Kiff began to hit some excellent shots.

They shared a fantastic, boundary-laden stand of 179 for the fifth wicket to take Llangwm’s total towards 300.

Inward reached his century with ten fours and four sixes to his name. At the other end, Kiff was not hanging about as he smashed seven sixes and four fours in a score of 95 from 73 balls.

He was unlucky to miss out on his century as he was caught by Bennett off the bowling of Birch as Herbie finally brought the partnership to an end.

There was one more wicket for Robert Kingston but Inward finished unbeaten on 115 as Llangwm set Herbie a target of 299 to win the game.

However, Herbie lost both openers for ducks as Sean Thomas was bowled by Noah Davies and Charlie Malloy was bowled by Steven Mills.

Mills also had Jonathan Bennet caught by Joseph Kiff on a score of 9 as the visitors struggled.

Matthew Kiff ran out Robert Hood and Mills picked up a third wicket as he bowled Ben Fairburn for a duck.

Mills later claimed the wickets of Ashley Britton and Alex Ouzman to finish with excellent figures of 5-8.

Robert Kingston made a score of 10 as he was Herbie’s only batsman to reach double figures but he fell to the bowling of Ollie Davies.

Davies also caught and bowled Sam Birch and had the wicket of James Manson to finish with figures of 3-27.

That saw Herbie bowled out for 50, giving Llangwm victory by 248 runs. It was their third win of the season which sees them move up into second place in Division 2.

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?
