Hockey: Ipswich up against it
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.IPSWICH, the defending champions, must win today's game away to Balsam Leicester to retain their title while a draw for Leicester, in this final round, would be enough to give them the Premier League title for the first time.
At the bottom, Ealing must avoid defeat against Clifton, which would relegate the Bristol club.
England's captain, Sandie Lister, along with her England team-mates Lucy Youngs and Jo Thompson, who returned from a Five Nations Tournament in Argentina on Wednesday, will be spearheading the Ipswich assault. Lister said: 'We are very optimistic. The fact we must win is in our favour as we play positive, attacking hockey.'
Leicester, however, are not to be underestimated. They have a strong defence which conceded just one goal in four games in the European Cup-Winners' Cup tournament at Easter to take the bronze medal.
Slough visit Cannock to play First Personnel Sutton Coldfield tomorrow in the league, and again in a quarter-final cup game tomorrow. They are likely to rest several players for the league game.
