Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Cannock yesterday increased their lead at the top of the National League First Division with a 3-2 win at Hounslow as Southgate, in second place overnight, could only draw at home to East Grinstead and slip to fourth place.

Cannock, with two goals from Bobby Crutchley, twice came from behind at Hounslow. And when Crutchley was bundled over by Mike Williamson, Paul Edwards converted the penalty with six minutes remaining to win.

Teddington, the defending champions, won 2-1 at home to Havant to at last take themselves clear of the relegation zone thanks to two goals from Phil McGuire. Havant had taken a fourth-minute lead with a goal from Calum Giles back after a hernia operation.

The day's only hat-trick came from Don Williams in Guildford's 7-2 win against Indian Gymkhana.

In Dublin England's women, after their 2-1 victory against Ireland on Saturday, yesterday drew 1-1 to take the Sharwood Centenary Trophy. Ireland took the lead through Sarah Kelleher, in the 17th minute with Canterbury's Melanie Clewlow equalising a minute after the interval.
