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 DEVILS stretched their lead in the Premier Division to eight points over the weekend when they beat their second-placed rivals, Fife Flyers, 7-3 before thrashing the bottom team, Teesside Bombers, 17-7, writes Steve Pinder.

In contrast, Murrayfield Racers failed to gain a point from two away matches, losing to Basingstoke Beavers and Bracknell Bees.

In the match against Basingstoke, Racers led 5-2 and 10-8 but, with four minutes left, Beavers levelled through Mario Belanger and, 17 seconds from time, Dave Whistle scored the winner.

Murrayfield had four players - Mark Ware, Tony Hand, Frank Morris and Richard Laplante - thrown out of the match for fighting during their 14-4 defeat by Bracknell. They were joined by two Bracknell players but the Bees took full advantage by scoring six goals in the final period.
