SAUNDERSFOOT picked up their second win in a row on Saturday (May 14) as they beat Pembroke Dock by 56 runs.

Saundersfoot beat champions Neyland last week and, having been asked to bat after Pembroke Dock had chosen to field, they were bowled out for 216 on the penultimate ball of their innings.

Danny Caine made an early score of 21 for Saundersfoot before he was caught by Tom Grimwood off the bowling of Jamie White.

Sam Franklin and Tom Mansbridge then formed an excellent partnership, sharing 134 runs for the second wicket.

Franklin smashed seven fours and five sixes in his score of 71 from 51 balls but he was then caught by Jake Griffiths off the bowling of Nick Daley.

Soon after, Mansbridge, who had hit seven fours and two sixes in his score of 65, was also out to Daley, leaving Saundersfoot on 174-3.

However, Saundersfoot’s innings began to fall apart after their good start and only one other batsman made it into double figures.

Nav Kawale added a late score of 11 but the Dock came back well to bowl Saundersfoot out.

Nick Daley had a five-wicket haul, finishing with figures of 5-38 while his son Rhys also claimed two wickets for the loss of 24 runs.

Billy Wood (1-19), Jamie White (1-19) were also amongst the wickets for the Dock.

In reply, Dock lost opener Jake Davies early on when he fell to the bowling of Sam Franklin for a duck and Tom Grimwood also departed early having been caught off the bowling of John Mansbridge.

Scott Griffiths and Rhys Daley added 34 for the third wicket but Griffiths fell on a score of 10.

Jake Griffiths fell soon after as the Dock were reduced to 63-4.

Daley and Archie Hillier-Wood shared 44 runs for the fifth wicket as they looked to keep their side in the game.

Hillier-Wood scored 19 but he was then bowled by Nav Kawale who then did the same to Billy Wood with the very next ball.

There was no hat trick for Kawale but he had reduced the Dock to 107-6.

Daley was joined by father Nick and they added 27 runs for the seventh wicket, with Rhys reaching his first 50 for Pembroke Dock.

Rhys was then run out by Tom Mansbridge on a score of 54 and soon after, Nick was bowled by Mansbridge on a score of 18.

Jamie White fell to the bowling of Scott Helmich who then ran out Neil Gregory on a score of 15 and that brought the game to a close.

Dock had been bowled out for 160, giving Saundersfoot victory by 56 runs.

On Saturday, May 21, Pembroke Dock travel to St Ishmaels while Saundersfoot travel to Cresselly.

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?
