Reading seeing double: Hockey
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, who did so well to take the silver medal in the European Cup- Winners' Cup last weekend, are still in line for a domestic league and Cup double. Tomorrow they meet last year's League champions, Cannock, at Sonning Lane in their last league game, knowing they must win to be assured of the title. Should they lose or draw and second-placed Teddington beat Canterbury then the title will go to the Middlesex club.
Their coach, Jon Copp, said: "The lads are still a bit tired after four games in four days but fortunately we have no injuries. This is the big one."
Cannock will be missing Welsh international Ian Hughes-Rowlands with a knee injury, while Teddington will also be without a Welsh international, Tyron Moore, who gets married this afternoon.
At the bottom, Barford Tigers and Surbiton are fighting to avoid relegation although it is possible, but extremely unlikely, that Hounslow could still go down. The Londoners will be without the Loughborough Students Lawrence Hannah and Simon Archer for their visit to Surbiton. A win for Surbiton will assure them of their Premier place for next season.
