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.Reading and Barford Tigers were the only two Premier League clubs to take maximum points from the weekend's double-banked fixtures.
After a 2-0 win against Southgate on Saturday, Reading were again in impressive form yesterday, trouncing an indifferent Hounslow 5-0. The England Under-21 players, Mark Pearn and Manpreet Kochar, each scored twice with New Zealander Grant Edwards icing the cake.
Barford came from behind at Surbiton on Saturday with two late goals from Satpal Degun to win 2-1 and yesterday took the points by the same score against leaders Old Loughtonians.
Canterbury and Cannock shared eight goals with leading goalscorer Bobby Crutchley collecting a couple for the Midland club. Tom White claimed the day's only hat-trick, scoring three times in Stourport's 7-1 win against Crostyx in spite of having a penalty stroke saved.
