CAREW moved into fourth place in Division 1 on Saturday (Jun 5) as they beat Llechryd by two wickets.

Llechryd batted first after Carew won the toss and chose to field and the home side made a good start.

They did lose opener Andrew Fletcher on a score of 19 when he was caught by Tim Hicks off the bowling of Sam Harts but Johnny Lewis and John Curran shared a good second-wicket stand.

They put on 48 runs but the partnership was broken by Shaun Whitfield who had Lewis, on a score of 20, caught by Nick Davies.

Joe Mansfield scored 14 before he was bowled by Ceri Brace before Hicks got the wicket of Curran.

Curran had made his way to a good score of 67 but he was out, trapped leg before.

That reduced Llechryd to 130-4 and it was soon 135-5 Adam Betts was caught by Harts off the bowling of Brace.

Tomos Davies added 16 to the total before he fell to Whitfield and Tom Beard was ran out late on.

Graham Keen did finish unbeaten on 16 as Llechryd reached 176-7 from their 45 overs.

Carew lost Tim Hicks on the first ball of their reply as he was caught by Andrew Davies off the bowling of John Curran.

Nick Davies and Nick Scourfield lead the recovery for the visitors as they shared 58 runs for the second wicket.

Davies reached a score of 34 before he was bowled by Andrew Fletcher and Scourfield made 28 before he was caught by Andrew Davies off the bowling of Jonny Lewis.

The runs continued to flow as Luke Hicks reached 29 before he was bowled by Fletcher.

Whitfield added 25 but he was then caught and bowled by Fletcher.

Luke Palmer-Davies then claimed the wickets of James Hinchcliffe and Lewis Hicks before Iori Hicks was bowled by Fletcher for a duck.

That left Carew on 150-8 and in danger of being bowled out.

However, Morgan Grieve finished not out on 9 and Ceri Brace finished unbeaten on 20 to see Carew over the line.

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?
