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.It was a wonderful weekend for Loughtonians, who moved to the top of the National League by beating the leaders, Reading, 4-3 on Saturday and then disposed of Colchester 9-0 in the third round of the Hockey Association Cup yesterday, writes Peter Colwill.
Against Reading, the Old Boys were indebted to their Australians, Brian Feltham, who scored twice, and Steve Carter, who opened the scoring. Reading's reply included two corner conversions by the German Max Klink, who was making his debut.
Reading took their revenge against Bournemouth, putting 11 goals away without reply. Chris Keevil, Jon Wyatt and Mark Hoskin each recorded hat- tricks.
Cannock, who moved into second place in the league by beating Surbiton 3-0, also flourished in the Cup, winning 6-1 against Sheffield. Robert Crutchley scored four there to add to his two in the league and that took his total to 15, one ahead of Dharminder Singh from Barford Tigers.
