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.England's Mary Price came from behind to capture the singles gold medal at the Atlantic Rim Championships in Llandrindod Wells yesterday as she beat Mary de Lisle, of the United States, 25-15.
Ireland's Margaret Johnston, who had led going into the final round of matches, had to settle for silver after being pipped 25-24 by the defending champion, South Africa's Jo Peacock.
Price later admitted she was more at home in team disciplines and said: "I enjoyed the week but I'm not really a great singles fan. I think my game is more suited to team games."
Johnston could not hide her disappointment, saying: "I was trying not to watch what was happening on Mary's rink and concentrating on my own game."
Wales' Betty Morgan took the bronze, edging out Peacock on shots differential after she beat Namibia's Jean Joubert 25-22. Wales took silver behind South Africa in the fours when Kathy Pearce, Sarah Mansbridge, Nina Shipperlee and Rita Jones beat Namibia 29-9 to beat Scotland on shots aggregate.
