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.The Dublin part-timers, Shelbourne, gave Kilmarnock a nasty fright before losing to a late goal at Rugby Park in last night's Cup-Winners' Cup preliminary round first-leg game.
Damien Richardson's team shocked the Scots with a superb goal in the 12th minute. Mark Rutherford, a former Birmingham City striker, picked up a loose ball from a corner and cracked a fierce left-foot drive past Dragoje Lekovic.
Alan Gough, the Irish side's goalkeeper, kept Killie at bay and Des Baker, a former Manchester United trainee, nearly doubled their lead just after the break, but shot too close to Lekovic.
The former Queen's Park Rangers striker, Paul Wright, equalised from the penalty spot in the 65th minute and then snatched a last-minute winner to earn Killie a lucky 2-1 win.
Mark Parfitt, with a penalty, and Richard Townsend scored two late goals for Cwmbran, the Welsh Cup holders, in their 5-2 home defeat to National Bucharest, while Tony Grant's goal earned Northern Ireland's Glenavon a 1-1 home draw against Legia Warsaw.
