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.

Tina Cullen continued her scoring form with a hat-trick in yesterday's AEWHA Centenary Cup final as Hightown claimed their second success in four years by beating Trojans 5-0, writes Bill Colwill from Milton Keynes.

In a tense opening period the differences between the two sides were the running off the ball of Cullen and the immaculate passing by her England coach, Maggie Souyave. It was, however, not until the 27th minute that Souyave set Cullen up for her first goal.

With a minute to go, Hightown went further ahead through Linda Carr's penalty corner strike. After the resumption, Michaela Morton scored the third. Cullen swept in the fourth midway through the half and a delightful lob completed her hat-trick.

Hightown: C Reid; J Crook; J Aspin, L Marsden, C Cook; M Souyave, F Lee (capt), L Carr; M Morton, T Cullen, L Newcombe. Substitutes used: C Gilbert, T Mawdsley, D Mills.
