PHNOM PENH: The Singapore women’s indoor hockey team are used to competing at rather unorthodox locations.
But on Monday , they were dropped off at quite possibly the most unique venue yet - the grounds of a dinosaur amusement park in Cambodia's capital city of Phnom Penh."Every SEA Games, there is something different for us.

Their heads bop up and down, while their tails swing back and forth.Tucked in the corner of the sprawling compound is a cavernous air-conditioned structure which used to house the park’s indoor playground.
"It was a very challenging game. Malaysia are full-time athletes, while we are just part-time," said Chen, on the match against the Malaysians.
