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.Cardiff needed overtime to win both their Superleague matches at the weekend. Against Nottingham, both sides had players suspended after last month's ill- tempered meeting between them and both seemed cagey, doubtless aware that anything more than minor penalties would incur the league's wrath.
The game was level 2-2 at the end of the third period. Nottingham dominated in overtime but, on Cardiff's first real attack, with just a minute left, Ivan Matulik scored the winner.
The following day, against Newcastle, Cardiff were again taken to overtime. This time Ian Cooper scored the winner.
Newcastle's other game, against Sheffield, also went to sudden-death. Newcastle pulled their netminder in the third period and came back from 2-0 down. Neither team could score during overtime and the game finished a tie.
