CRESSELLY bowed out of the Village Cup on Sunday (Jun 19) as they were beaten by Derbyshire side Rolleston.

Rolleston won the toss and chose to field and they were able to bowl the Pembrokeshire side out for 181 inside 39 overs.

Phil Williams and Simon Cole shared 20 runs for the opening partnership but Cole was bowled by Alex Brown on a score of 16 (3 fours).

Williams was joined by Iwan Izzard and the pair shared a good stand of 59 runs for the second wicket.

Izzard hit four fours in his score of 24 but he was caught by Sam Bates off the bowling of Tom Liversage.

Williams had made his way to a score of 35 but he was then caught by Bates off the bowling of Sam Jackson to leave Cresselly on 103-3.

Nick Cope and Alex Bayley were the new men at the crease and they shared 25 runs for the fourth wicket.

Bayley survived a strong run-out appeal which wasn’t given while Cope hit two sixes in his score of 27 before being trapped leg before by Jay Ridgway.

Soon after, Ridgeway had his second wicket as he had Bayley caught on the boundary by Louis Burrows on a score of 15.

With the score of 147-5 in the 32nd over the home side knew they would need to push their score on.

Ryan Lewis came in and hit two sixes but he saw Dan James dismissed by Brown before he himself was bowled by Brandon Ridgway.

Charlie Arthur hit three fours in a score of 18 but he was then bowled by Alex Britton.

Brandon Ridgeway then bowled Tom Murphy and Britton did the same to Morgan Lewis as the home side were bowled out for 181.

Rolleston lost opener Gareth Marshall early in their reply when he was bowled by Charlie Arthur.

Louis Burrows and Sam Bates then shared 56 runs for the second wicket before Bates was caught by Simon Cole off the bowling of Tom Murphy on a score of 27.

Murphy then also had Burrows, who was also on a score of 27, caught by Ryan Lewis who then trapped Alex Britton leg before.

That mini-collapse had seen the Derbyshire side slip to 69-4.

However, Brandon Ridgway and Tom Liversage shared 32 runs for the fifth wicket to keep the scoreboard ticking over.

Ridgway hit two fours and a six in his score of 17 but he was then bowled by Lewis.

Liversage hit three fours in a score of 28 but he was then caught by Nicky Cope off the bowling of Murphy.

That saw Rolleston reduced to 113-6 but Alex Brown and Jack Sanderson shared 56 runs for the seventh wicket to take their side to within touching distance of their target.

Brown scored 15 before being bowled by Cope as the home side still held hopes of securing victory.

Sanderson and Sam Jackson had other ideas though as they went on to seal victory and a spot in the last 16.

Sanderson hit six fours and a six as he finished unbeaten on 39. Jackson only faced four balls but hit two fours and a six to finish unbeaten on 14.

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?
