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.

Cannock, after an absence of three weeks, returned to the top of the Premier League after their 4-3 away win against Teddington.

Victory brought a sigh of relief from Cannock's Welsh defender Paul Edwards. He had gifted the first of Phil McGuire's three goals for Teddington and then casually lobbed a penalty stroke over the bar on half-time.

The overnight leaders Old Loughtonians came unstuck at home to East Grinstead, dropping points in a 3-3 draw. Peter Bell sank a penalty corner in the 69th minute when the Old Boys had been reduced to nine men after temporary suspensions to the internationals Matt Sutton and Nick Thompson. At Guildford, Danny Hall struck three times to collect a 5-3 over Reading, and Mike Huckle also scored three times in Beeston's 5-0 win against Sheffield to keep them five points clear in the First Division.

Slough, 6-1 winners away to Sutton Canada Life, maintained their three- point lead at the top of the Women's National table.
