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.David Mathews, England's leading scorer in the recent World Cup, returned to League action yesterday for Canterbury with three goals in their surprising 5-4 win at Cannock. In addition to his haul, Mathews collected two temporary suspensions.
In the only other Premier game of the day, Southgate came from behind on three occasions for a 3-3 draw with Teddington, their equaliser coming in the last second from Adrian Simmons at a penalty corner. Southgate, still without a win, look doomed for relegation. It might have been so different had they converted the numerous opportunities that went begging. James Webber scored twice for Teddington, his second, a reverse stick shot after moving left across the circle, was one of the best seen this season.
In a women's Premier double-header, the only team to score maximum points was Sutton Coldfield, 2-1 winners at Chelmsford on Saturday and yesterday 2-0 at home to Doncaster. Sutton have now moved six points clear of the bottom club Doncaster. Slough's lead at the top was cut to one point following their 1-1 home draw with Canterbury.
