Hockey: End of a perfect record: Unbeaten sides come face to face
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.READING and Surbiton, the only teams with maximum points, meet at Sonning Lane tomorrow in one of the day's top First Division National League games.
In their last league encounter at Surbiton three years ago the game ended in a 3-3 draw with Paddy Osborn converting three penalty corners for the visitors and David Francis slotting home all Surbiton's goals. Under this season's rolling substitution rule both are certain to be brought on for set-pieces, even if they do not start.
Reading's strong midfield, in which Wayne Graham, South Africa's captain, has been prominent, is likely to win the day.
Southgate and Hounslow, favourites to win the league who both suffered surprising defeats last weekend, meet at Broomfield School. Both expect to be at full strength although Southgate's Rupert Welch will have a late test on a groin injury.
Ian Jennings, Guildford's player-coach who was so influential in their promotion last season, misses the visit of Canterbury after a back operation and is not expected to return until the new year.
