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.With England still in Cairo, Sunday's National League programme is restricted to Division One only, where the leaders Surbiton, who will be without their top goal-scorer Greg Nicol, entertain Harleston Magpies.
Another setback for Surbiton is the condition of Nicol's fellow South African, Greg Clark, who has not recovered from the injury which limited his debut to nine minutes.
St Albans' home game against Bournville has been postponed to allow the National Indoor champions to participate in an indoor tournament in Germany.
Two contrasting coaches - Gavin Featherstone and John Shaw - are thrown together as the women's National League returns after a five-week break. Newly promoted Olton, guided by the outspoken Featherstone, are hoping they can improve on third place at home, against Slough, the defending champions coached by the quiet, thoughtful Shaw.
