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.

Teddington moved two points clear at the top of the Premier Division of the National League following a scintillating 5-1 victory against Guildford at Duke's Meadow yesterday.

Nick Conway played an influential role scoring twice in the first 12 minutes, winning a tackle to set up Phil McGuire for a superb third and then releasing Jon Hauck, whose progress was stopped at the expense of a stroke which was converted by McGuire.

Danny Hall pulled one back in a rare second-half Guildford attack, but Andrew Billson replied immediately.

Cannock slipped off the top as a result of their 2-1 defeat by Hounslow, whose goals came from a penalty stroke by Mike Williamson and a sweetly dragged penalty corner by Will Nurse.

Paul Edwards hit the post from a penalty stroke before Simon Organ created the opening for Ben Sharpe to pull one back in the penultimate minute.

There was a hat-trick for Rowan Davis in Southgate's 4-4 draw with Canterbury and for Richard Gibson, of East Grinstead, which were not enough to stop Havant winning 4-3.

In the first division, Beeston increased their lead to nine points by beating nearest rivals Doncaster 4-2.
