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.

Old Loughtonians will be without the Great Britain defender Julian Halls for their home game this afternoon against Havant. Halls is spending the weekend in Guernsey on a coaching exercise. His place is likely to go to Bedford student Sean Robinson, writes Bill Colwill.

The Old Boys, one of several clubs badly affected by the World Cup preliminary in Cagliari, are unlikely to press their three Scottish internationals into service tomorrow, on their return from Italy, for the away game at Barford Tigers.

Guildford, however, have named their Welsh goalkeeper Kevin Priday and Richard Markham in their squad for the short trip to Surbiton. They also include Roly Ward - their new signing from Firebrands - whose father, Carl, is coach to the Italian national squad.
