KUALA LUMPUR: Experience certainly trumps youth as defending champions Pahang defeated Terengganu 4-0 in the opening match of the women’s Razak Cup hockey tournament at the Kuala Lumpur Hockey Stadium.

With six national players in the team – defender Siti Noor Amarina Ruhani and midfielders Wan Norfaiezah Saiuti, Nuraini Rashid, Rabiatul Adawiyah Mohamed, Siti Zaidah, Nadia Abdul Rahman – and national junior goalkeeper Priyangga Jayaraj – in the fray, it was obvious that Pahang had too much firepower compared to the Malaysia Games (Sukma) side put up by Terengganu.
