LAWRENNY earned a narrow win over St Ishmaels on Saturday (Jul 31) as they beat them by just two wickets.

Visitors Lawrenny won the toss and chose to field first but Tish made a good total of 200-7 from their 45 overs.

Karl Rhead and Peter Bradshaw made a steady start to the innings with an opening stand of 39 runs.

Kurtis Marsh made the breakthrough as he had Rhead stumped by James Phillips on a score of 29.

Soon after Harry Thomas had Ieuan Hawkins caught by Marsh to reduce Tish to 41-2.

Bradshaw and Phillip Cockburn then shared a good third wicket partnership worth 90 runs to put Tish into a strong position.

That partnership was eventually broken by Marsh who had Bradshaw caught by Thomas on a score of 54. Bradshaw’s knock included seven fours and a six.

Cockburn fell soon after on a score of 43 and it was Marsh involved again as he took the catch to give Rob Williams his first wicket.

Brennan Devonald made a score of 17 from 15 balls but he was also stumped by Phillips to give Thomas his second wicket.

Lawrenny began to hit back as Ryan Morton then bowled Andrew Pawlett before Rob Williams trapped namesake Andrew leg before.

That left Tish on 182-7 but Jonathan Pawlett and Lewis Rhead shared 28 runs to take the score to 200-7.

Pawlett finished not out on 32 while Rhead hit a late six to help push the score up.

Lawrenny made a good start to their reply as Kurtis Marsh and Harry Thomas shared 69 runs for the first wicket.

Marsh hit nine fours on his way to a score of 52 but he was then bowled by Jordan Milich.

Moments after, Thomas was caught by Jonathan Pawlett off the bowling of Andrew Williams on a score of 11.

Steven Campbell was out for an unlucky 13 as he was caught by Pawlett off the bowling of Andrew Pawlett.

That left Lawrenny on 89-3 but James Phillips and Joe Kidney shared 33 runs for the fourth wicket to take the visitors into three figures.

Joe Kidney was caught by Jonathan Pawlett off the bowling of Lewis Rhead on a score of 22 and soon after another Lawrenny wicket fell.

This time it was Andrew Pawlett who had Ryan Morton caught by Lewis Rhead as Lawrenny were reduced to 124-5.

Phillips and Tom Cole then added another 32 runs for the sixth wicket but Tish broke through again as Cole was caught by Andrew Pawlett off the bowling of Lewis Rhead.

Cole had hit two fours and a six in his 14-ball cameo which saw him add 21 runs to the total.

Phillips had also hit two fours and a six to make his way to a score of 30 but he was then trapped leg before by Brennan Devonald to leave the visitors on 174-7.

Tish’s tails were up as they sensed an upset victory but Rob Williams made his way to a score of 15 before Matt Lewis was caught by Andrew Williams off the bowling of Jonathan Pawlett.

Needing only 6 to win, James Buckle and Rob Williams held their nerve to see Lawrenny over the line.

Lawrenny’s score was also helped along by 24 extras leaving Tish to wonder what might have been had they not given so many runs away.

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?
