PEMBROKE DOCK’s Euan McDonald scored a single off the last ball to ensure that their game with Narberth ended in a tie.

The match was reduced to 34 overs a side because of the rain but that did not stop the home side scoring an impressive 223-4.

Richard Adams and Jamie McCormack got Narberth going with an opening stand of 53 but the latter departed on 23 when he was bowled by Jamie White.

Jordan Howell added 10 before he fell in similar fashion but Adams and Kyle Quartermaine then shared 78 runs.

That partnership saw Adams reach his half century while Quartemaine smashed five fours and three sixes in his score of 41 from 22 balls.

Quartermaine was then caught by Neil Gregory off the bowling of Euan McDonald.

Adams was joined by Lewis Hough and the pair shared another 50 runs for the fourth wicket.

Hough, in similar fashion to Quartermaine, came in and clubbed two fours and three sixes in a score of 32 from 20 balls but he was then caught by Jake Davies off the bowling of Billy Wood.

Adams batted on and finished not out on a score of 107 with 18 fours and two sixes.

Jake Davies and Jake Griffiths got the Dock off to a steady start in their reply, sharing 38 runs for the first wicket.

Griffiths was bowled by Loui Davies on a score of 23.

Griffiths was then joined by Billy Wood and they shared another 39 runs for the second wicket before Wood was caught by Loui Davies off the bowling of Lewis Hough.

Davies and Scott Griffiths then shared 70 runs for the third wicket as they looked to keep their side in the game.

Griffiths hit five fours in a score of 33 but he was then trapped leg before by Mike Reekie.

Davies hit ten fours and a six in his score of 77 from 56 balls but he also fell to the bowling of Reekie.

Tom Grimwood fell to Quartermaine and Neil Gregory was caught off the bowling of Hough as the Dock slipped to 184-6.

Rhys Daley and Jamie White added another 20 runs for the seventh wicket as they kept their side in with a chance of victory.

Daley fell to the bowling of Ben Hughes and Jamie White, who had hit three fours and a six in a score of 27, was then bowled by Loui Davies.

Nick Daley found the boundary in his score of 5 from 3 balls but he was then trapped leg before by Ben Hughes.

Connor Carroll and Euan McDonald held their nerve and in the final after a single and a dot off the first two balls, Carroll added two and then one to bring McDonald on strike and he did likewise to bring the scores level.

Narberth earned 14 points for their efforts and the Dock took 12 away after an excellent battle.

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?
