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.Turning back the clock is proving a masterstroke for Graham Allner, whose Kidderminster Harriers team sits proudly atop the GM Vauxhall Conference.
Harriers were champions in 1994 - when they were denied a League place after failing to meet ground requirements - but finished mid-table last season.
Allner's answer has been to recreate the lethal strike partnership of Kim Casey and Paul Davies, who scored 117 goals for Harriers in 1985/86. And though both are approaching veteran status now - Davies is 35 a week today - they seem no less deadly: a double for Davies at Southport on Saturday raised his tally to eight so far, equal with Casey. Both have their eyes on the Conference career goals record of 180, with Davies on 169 and Casey 166.
Allner's team can defend a bit, too - Saturday was their sixth consecutive clean sheet.
