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.Hightown and Trojans, who both shipped goals in shock defeats last weekend, meet tomorrow at Formby with both teams likely to be missing key players.
Helen Grant, Lucy Newcombe and Caroline Gilbert, European Under-21 bronze medallists in the summer, will again be missing for Hightown, who lost 8-2 at Doncaster, but defender Debbie Mills, who required hospital treatment after a facial injury last week, is expected to be fit. Trojans, who went down 5-0 at home to Clifton, hope Ali Wakefield and Kath James will return.
Leaders Slough entertain Ipswich, trailing by three points in third place. Sally Eyre returns for Slough and the Olympian Anna Bennett is fit again.
