Hightown looking for inspiration
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.The return of Britain's Olympians last weekend after their enforced rest made little or no impact on the League fixtures. As one club manager put it: "They were off the pace - lacking match fitness."
The return of Britain's Olympians last weekend after their enforced rest made little or no impact on the League fixtures. As one club manager put it: "They were off the pace - lacking match fitness."
The clubs will hope that they make a greater impact this weekend, in particular the women's defending champions, Hightown, who are currently just one place off the bottom of the Premier division and make the long trip to Canterbury today.
They have dispensed with the coach Mark Bourhill, and so Linda Carr, the former England captain, will look to their three Olympians to hit top form. Back home again tomorrow, they face Deeside Ramblers in the Cup.
Cannock, the defending men's champions, aim to return to winning form at home to Bournville tomorrow after losing at Old Loughtonians last week, while the current League leaders, Reading, have a tricky home fixture against Loughborough Students, who put five past Bournville last weekend.
Canterbury will be without the striker Danny Laslett for the visit of Teddington. He has emigrated to Canada.
