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, CANTERBURY and Southgate remain on maximum points at the top of the Premier Division of the National League. At East Grinstead, Southgate's Todd Williams scored with six minutes remaining, Adrian Simons scoring the winner two minutes later. Cannock, with goals from Craig Farnham, Kalbir Takher and Ben Sharpe, accounted for Brooklands 3-1, while Canterbury twice came from behind to beat Old Laughtonians 4-3. Reading beat Teddington 3-1 in a scrappy game, Robert Todd, Scott Ashdown and Mark Pearn scored the goals with Tony Colclough replying for the visitors. Bromley's Gary Kirk was sent off as his side went down 4-1 at Havant, for allegedly hitting an opponent.

In Division One Surbiton and Stourport set the pace with Stourport winning convincingly 6-1 away to Indian Gymkhana with Tom Sherratt scoring three times. Clifton surrendered their 100 per cent record and leadership of the Premier Division of the Women's National League when they lost 1-0 at home to Ipswich. Slough joined Ipswich at the top following a 6-3 win away at Olton with Jane Smith scoring twice.
