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.

Hockey Guildford and Hightown, the English Cup holders, will this weekend be doing battle in the European Cup-winners' competitions in the Netherlands, writes Bill Colwill.

Guildford, after yet another successful season in the National League, must surely hope for a medal in The Hague, where their major opponents in the pool games will be Germany's Durkheimer, who they meet in their final pool game on Sunday. A win against them should pit them against the host club and last year's runners-up, HDM, in Monday's final.

Hightown, who were surprisingly knocked out by Doncaster in the early rounds of this season's women's Cup competition, must pick themselves up after collecting only one point from their two league games last weekend. Their crunch game will also be on Sunday against the host side, Rotterdam.
