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.Ireland's Margaret Johnson and England's Mary Price will battle out the singles gold medal at the Atlantic Rim Championships in today's final round of matches in Llandrindod Wells after both claimed victory in the 12th round yesterday.
Price recorded a 25-19 victory over Argentina's Maria Cabrera after fending off a good fightback from the Argentinian. Price led 21-11 after 18 ends but was pegged back to 24-19 going into the 26th end before she collected the match-winning single.
Johnson, meanwhile, cruised to a 25-13 triumph over Crystal Toleman of Spain. Johnson took the lead on the first end and was behind only briefly at 7-6 after 11 ends. She levelled with a single in the next then moved ahead with a sequence of four, one and three to lead 15-7 after 15 ends and pulled away for a comfortable victory.
Johnson has a shots differential of plus 102 to Price's plus 91, but the Irish player has the harder game today, against defending champion Joe Peacock of South Africa, while Price takes on American Mary De Lisle.
