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.HAVANT IS not the all conquering team of the past, and their women were no match for a rampant Slough in the third round of the PHA Cup. Hat-tricks from Sarah Kelleher and Mandy Nicholson meant there was never any doubt as Slough ran up 12 without reply.
In the men's cup game, Reading's Jon Wyatt also scored three times as they beat Havant 5-2, but the goal of the day went to Havant's George Cover, beating the England goalkeeper Simon Mason from the narrowest of angles.
Two penalty stroke goals from Scott Smith gave Old Loughonians a useful 2-1 lead and victory away at Brooklands on Saturday, with the Canadian bagging another brace when they visited Guildford in the cup yesterday. They ran out winners 5-2.
The Cup holders Cannock, who only managed a 2-2 draw with Reading on Saturday, yesterday beat Beeston 6-2.
Canterbury, with David Matthews scoring twice and Stuart Humphreys scoring a third beat Hounslow 3-2 to move one point clear at the top of the Premier Division ahead of Southgate.
In the cup, Canterbury beat Cambridge City 8-1, while Southgate accounted for Bournville Birmingham University 3-2 and then, yesterday in the cup, Firebrands with the same scoreline.
