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.

BOWLS

Last year's beaten finalist, Mary Price of England, also made a winning start to the competition, with a 7-6, 7-2 success over the Welsh champion, Doreen Rowlands.

Ireland's Margaret Johnston, a twice former champion, recovered after dropping the opening set to beat her team-mate Pat Smythe 2-7, 7-0, 7- 6 while the newly crowned English champion, Brenda Brown, was in impressive form as she coasted to a 7-4, 7-0 win over Susan Neol of Jersey.
