Hockey: Slough on treble trail
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.Slough go into the weekend still on course for a trophy treble, looking to add the Women's Premier League title and the Cup to the Indoor title they gained earlier in the year.
Already qualified for the League play-offs, they entertain sixth-placed Ipswich this afternoon, when defeat for the Suffolk side would probably put an end to their dreams of the last play-off place. Recent form favours Slough, who narrowly got the better of Ipswich in a five-goal cup quarter-final thriller two weeks ago.
Slough travel to Southampton tomorrow to play Trojans in their Cup semi-final. Trojans will be without the influential Kath James, who has been suspended until 31 March following last week's game against Chelmsford. James has since apologised for her behaviour in a statement from the club.
Canterbury, who still have a chance of a League and Cup double, entertain second-placed Olton today and travel away to Doncaster for tomorrow's cup semi-final.
Second-placed Reading's visit to Surbiton is undoubtedly the men's match of the day tomorrow, with two of the great tactical coaches in the British game, both now concentrating on club hockey, facing each other. Jon Copp's Berkshire side are 11 points ahead of Jon Royce's third-placed Surbiton.
