The 47th edition of the Tuz Razak Cup has created a record of sorts, not only will there be 16 teams participating, but there will be three venues used, namely the Tun Razak Stadium, KLHA Stadium Pantai and the National Hockey Stadium.
Trust MHF to complicate matters as they have opted to play the matches at three venues when all they had to do was to modify the competition, move 2nd Division the runner-up of the last tournament Selangor into the top division, thus having eight teams in each division. That would mean 28 matches in each division, and that will lead to each team playing a minimum of seven matches, worth their while in spending all that money coming down for a hastily organised tournament that CLASHES with the MASUM tournament that will be held in Perak over this weekend, thus preventing many talented players from institutions of higher learning to play in the Razak Cup, wonder if the President is aware of this.
As it stands, some team will play only five matches, including the placing matches, which in reality are a sheer waste of money. But who cares as long as the calander is fulfilled right.
