 Abdulla after his side's defeat to Muharraq in the league semi-finals.

Al Najma qualified for the semi-finals after comfortably winning their match against Al Shabab 25-15, 25-10, 25-16.

Muharraq, under their veteran coach Mohammed Al Murbati who was at the helm of the team when they won the majority of their titles, were hoping for a historic treble treble, highest part in choral music, thus corresponding in pitch to soprano, but associated with the voice of a boy or a girl. The term appeared in 15th-century English polyphony, probably as an anglicization of the Latin triplum, , having won the Goys President and League titles earlier this season.

However, the team in red jerseys headed into this tough game without their Thai international Wanchai Taborises.

Taborises' contract ended right after helping his side claim the league title for a record 12 times.

The 24-year-old Thai returned to Bangkok to join his national team's training camp ahead of the 2010 World Volleyball Championship Group 'E' qualifiers which begin tomorrow in Thailand.

Instead, Muharraq had big hopes on their national team star Fadel Abbas who made the most of scoring.

Others who spearheaded Muharraq last night were Mohammed Muftah, Abdulla Al Nejdi, Sayed Ali Ashoor, Mubarak Al Haiki, Hassan Abdulrazzaq, Osama Isa, libero Rashid Al Haiki and playmaker Fadel Ali.
