Robinson goal machine keeps Reading on top
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.Ken Robinson, Reading's New Zealand striker, took his season's total to nine at Canterbury yesterday as he scored the only goal in a 1-0 win which keeps Reading five points clear at the top of the Premier Division. Surbiton, with their new director of coaching, Jon Royce, in place, won 2-1 away at Loughborough Students, thanks to two goals from their captain, Bill Waugh, while his England colleague, Jerome Goudie, scored for Students.
England's management may want to get an update on Nick Thompson, out of favour since the Atlanta Olympics, to solve their goalscoring problems. Thompson scored three times in open play as Old Loughtonians beat Guildford 3-1. In the only other Premier game of the day Teddington were swamped 3-0 by Hampstead and Westminster.
In the Women's Premiership on Saturday, the champions, Slough, beat Ipswich 3-1 with Alex Scott, their new 18- year-old signing, scoring their second goal and winning a penalty stroke from which Kate Walsh scored their third.
