IPOH: There was no silverware for the national hockey team after they were forced to settle for fourth place once again at the Sultan Azlan Shah Cup yesterday.

It was deja vu for the Speedy Tigers at the Azlan Shah Stadium, facing New Zealand once again in the third-fourth placing match, just as they did at last year’s edition, and the Black Sticks made sure to defend their bronze medal by winning 6-1.
