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.Old Loughtonians, who came away with the National Indoor Championship on Friday, their first National title, kept alive their hopes of an Indoor and Outdoor double when they beat Guildford 2-1 in a steady downpour at Chigwell yesterday. They are n ow onepoint behind the leaders, Surbiton, in third place with two games in hand.
Without Nick Thompson, suspended following a red card in the Indoor final, and the injured Colin Hector, the Old Boys started tentatively, but goals from Neil Barker and Paul Krishman inside a minute put them in command by the interval.
With Ian Jennings, returning after a back operation, directing operations, Guildford rallied and Jennings converted a penalty corner in the 51st minute but the Essex side held out.
Surbiton lost their unbeaten record when Teddington's captain, Andy Billson, scored after a long clearance from Simon Nicklin for a 1-0 victory. In double-headers, Cannock beat Indian Gymkhana 4-0 on Saturday and Bournville 6-0 yesterday to move into second place.
Southgate also made up ground with a 2-0 win against Reading on Saturday followed with a 1-0 win away to the defending champions, Havant, Duncan Woods getting the goal.
