Tenaga power to the top

- TODAY’S FIXTURES — Women: Jugjet Singh

Nasional hammered NurInsafi 10-0 yesterday to top the Malaysia Hockey League Premier Division standings.

Firhan Ashaari opened the floodgates in the 10th minute and the other Tenaga goals were scored by Norshafiq Sumantri (15th), Tengku Ahmad Tajuddin (18th), Shello Silverius (19th), Nik Aiman Nik Rozemi (25th), Azrai Aizad Kamal (27th), Akhimullah Anuar Esook (30th, 57th), Ramadan Rosli (47th), Noor Firdaus Rosdi (48th).

“NurInsafi held on for 10 minutes, but once my players’ scoring act started, they had no answer to our game today (yesterday).

“If we continue playing like this, I believe we have a good chance of landing another title this season,” said Tenaga coach Nur Saiful Zaini.

Tenaga were so comfortabl­e that they even removed their goalkeeper S. Kumar and played with a kicking back in the last 10 minutes of the match.

Tenaga play UniKL on Friday, and even though the goal count will likely be less, they are expected to collect full points.

In the Alagendra Cup quarter-finals, Tenaga won 3-0 against a weak UniKL, who were without their foreign signings.

Tenaga Nasional 10 NurInsafi 0, UniKL 2 UiTM 1, Terengganu HT 4 TNB Thunderbol­ts 0.

RESULTS — Men:

Terengganu Ladies v PSHA-MSSP (Batu Buruk Stadium), PKS-UniTen v Liaoning HC (National Stadium, Pitch 1), Tengku Mahkota Ismail v Blue Warriors (SSTMI) — all matches at 5pm.
