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.

Clifton are hoping that Tammy Miller will be able to play in tomorrow's AEWHA Cup final against Ipswich at Milton Keynes, although their manager, Graham Culliford, rates her chances as no better than 50-50.

Miller, Clifton's captain, returned from Great Britain's Atlanta trip with a calf injury and then dislocated a shoulder while swimming. She has been at Lilleshall National Sports Centre for intensive treatment but still remains doubtful. "With the Olympics closing in, Tammy's first consideration must be to get completely fit," Culliford said.

Only three of Ipswich's squad are non-internationals, and with a midfield line up of the former England captain Sandie Lister, Tracy Fry, Debbie Rawlinson and Lucy Youngs, they look formidable favourites.

Clifton, seeking their first National title, will be no walkover, though, with their strong Welsh contingent. Ipswich will be well aware that their opponents, on the way to the final, have accounted for Slough, Balsam Leicester and Chelmsford.
