PEMBROKE booked their place in the semi-finals of the Duggie Morris Cup on Tuesday night (Jun 7) as they beat St Ishmaels by 21 runs.

Tish won the toss and chose to field and Pembroke made a good total of 168-5 from their 20 overs.

Jack Harries and Jonathan Rogers shared 52 runs for the first wicket but Lewis Rhead made the breakthrough for Tish as he bowled Rogers on a score of 13.

Harries and Luke Butler shared another 46 runs for the second wicket as Harries reached his half century.

He hit eight fours and two sixes in his score of 59 from 45 balls but he was then caught by Huw Scriven off the bowling of Andrew Pawlett.

Butler and Alan Webster continued to put runs on the board as they added another 43 for the third wicket.

Butler hit three fours and a six in his score of 37 from 29 balls but was then trapped leg before by Andrew Williams.

Andrew Price fell soon after to Phil Llewellyn and Steve Durston was run out as Pembroke’s innings faded a little.

Webster, though, finished unbeaten on 36 from 25 balls with three fours and two sixes to help Pembroke to their total.

Tish knew they would need a good start and that’s exactly what they got as Jonathan Pawlett and Phil Llewellyn shared 62 runs for the first wicket.

However, when Steve Durston had Pawlett caught by Luke Butler on a score of 26, that sparked a mini collapse as Tish soon found themselves on 73-4.

Sam Davies had Brennan Devonald stumped by Butler before Durston got two more wickets as he trapped Karl Rhead leg before for a second-ball duck and also bowled Andrew Pawlett.

Llewellyn and Peter Bradshaw looked to steady the ship and they shared 39 runs for the fifth wicket to keep their side in with a shout.

Llewellyn had hit eight fours and two sixes in his score of 61 from 42 balls but he was caught by Jonathan Rogers off the bowling of Durston.

Durston then claimed his fifth wicket as he had Richard Brock caught by Jack Harries and he went on to finish with excellent figures of 5-24.

Bradshaw and Andrew Williams added 27 runs for the seventh wicket but that partnership was ended by Alan Webster who had Williams caught and bowled on 13.

Bradshaw had hit two fours and a six in his score of 24 but he was then bowled by Webster as Tish’s hopes of victory began to fade.

They could only reach 147-8 to give Pembroke victory.

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?
