VOLLEYBALL – AL Ahli powered past Al Najma in four sets last night in the Top Six round of the 2024-25 Isa Bin Rashid Bahrain Volleyball League.
After taking a two-set cushion, Ahli conceded the third but fought right back to close the game out in the fourth set with a 3-1 (25-22, 25-16, 23-25, 25-22) final score line.
Ali Ebrahim provided the match-winning spike. Also playing key roles in their win were Sayed Mohammed Al Abbar, Mahmood Abdulhussain, Hani Alawi, Hassan Haider, Mohammed Anan, Hussain Mansoor, and French professional Joachim Panou.
With the result, Ahli remained undefeated in this stage of league play after claiming their ninth win in as many outings. They have also already assured themselves of the top seed heading into the Golden Square semi-finals.
Najma, meanwhile, suffered their fifth loss to go with four wins as they are hoping to remain in a Golden Square-clinching spot in the round of six.
This phase continues today with two-time defending champions Dar Kulaib facing Al Nasser at 9pm.
The 10th and final week of the Top Six is then scheduled for April 3 and 4.
