KL GET THE BETTER OF PDRM



Kuala Lumpur upset the formbook by defeating fancied Royal Malaysian Police 4-0 in the Raja Noora Ashikin Cup at the Seremban 2 Hockey Stadium.

Playing against a vastly experienced side, the KL Sukma side however showed nerves of steel by running down their opponentswith speed and fitness in the blazing afternoon sun.

“The players were not overawed by their opponents and that was the key to the win today. Couple that with the fact that we took our chances well gave us the win,” said KL Sukma coach Rizal Razman.



“This is a tremendous boost for the youngsters and they have been improving from match to match. Now we need to win the next match against Penang and hope that Terengganu defeats PDRM for us to book a place in the last four.”

KL opened scoring in the 20th minute via Nur Syafiqah Mohd Zain who converted a penalty corner. And two minutes later Herni Japlee weaved her magic in the semi circle, staving off two defenders to give KL a 2-0 lead.

Nur Syafiqah was on target once again in the 57th minute before Norazlin Sumantri
sealed the win with a goal in the 63rd minute.


Terengganu consolidted their position on the top of Group B with a 9-0 win over SM Politeknik.

Fatin Naimah Zaki scored a hattrick, her goals coming in the 1st, 6th and 65th minutes. A brace by Nor Hasida Hassan (12th and 23rd minutes) as well as goals from Aishah Zulkifli (38th minute), Nur Aisyah Hashim ( 41st minute), Siti Nurul Afina Mat Jusoh and Sharifah Nadiah Syed Mohd Wahab gave the east coast side 12 points from four wins.


Hosts Negeri Sembilan were beaten yet again, this time going down to Penang with Nurizwana Ahmad Tajuddin scoring in the 60th minute.
