Although it is somewhat painful to know that Boushrieyeh--my favorite team for many yrs back (since the reign of M Badr Eddine)--I, nonetheless, am happy for your victory. CONGRATS!

PS. I used to watch Shweir volleyball--mostly held in 'Ayroun--just to watch this blondish, curly-haired guy (name still unknown to me) spike the heck out of the ball, much like Alain Saadeh does now! He was awesome. I believe I asked about him before, but could get no reliable answer. He played in late 60's and early 70's.

(Just returned from a VA Beach vacation where it was as hot as an egg-frying skillet; Southerners call them "Dog Days" where they are so hot that even dogs will not chase cats! Laughing

As I speak, and as an avid sportsman, I am watching a volleball game on LBC between Bauchrieyeh and the Lebanese army. There's this very tall (tallest, as they said), blond player with the same name as the creator of this thread: Joseph Nohra. I wonder if they're the same person? (Looks a little like singer, rocker Jerry Lee Lewis of old, with his curly blond hair).

AJ,
I watched part of that game too but I didn’t know who won at the end. And that handsome dod you mentioned is our Joseph. Ya Abou Jihad Abou Al Zooz is way too handsome to be looking like Jerry Lee Lewis

As for what Nadia said “Second Place is great”. If you asked Mr. volleyball Istaz Elie god rest his soul he will say Second place is not good enough. When it come to Volleyball A Nohra should be second to none. As for me I have to agree with Nadia and congratulate Joseph but next time I must go alone with the opinion of Istazna Wa habibna Al istaz Elie.
Same3 Abou Al Zooz no more Second place. Hope to see this August in Shweir big buddy

This post is a bit old if you can see it since 2007 (don't worry I took my revenge quickly from the same team this year and I won 2-0) I just want to mention Nabil that this is in beach volleyball -), anyway,As indoor now the semi finals begans before yesterday it will be played best of three games, first two games bawshriye won against Army 3-2 and us Anwar won against Zahra 3-0, but I want to double agree you that second place for me doesn't exist too -) but still a game and as you know finally someone will win and the other will loose but this time and this week exactly I promess that we'll crush everybody and we'll be number 1 in the Lebanese volleyball soon enough,again I'll be in Leb Thursday to play the finals.

Nabil/Anwar a suggestion I am ready to organize a game between the first two teams in the Lebanese league (hope it will be us and bawshriye) lets say, with (ri3eye) from someone! under Shweir.com familly name at Dhour shweir, for sure the money that we'll have you can donate to any project within Shweir (maybe the xmas tree!) or anything else shweir.com maybe will need it let me know.

Regards;

Tiger

Riskalla to the old time when I was in my early twenty's playing volleyball.
I used to go to Kahraba club and Club Sacre Coeur , have our training at 9 p.m. after work and University.
It is ashamed not to have professional teams in Lebanon.
My best game was when we beated China In College fes Freres Sacre Coeur.

Congrats Joseph on your Achievements. You make us proud.

We stand ready to facilitate where ever we can. If your group can arrange for sponsorship or (ri3eye) from someone, we can post the event on Shweir.com and have a representative attend the event, etc.

If that sponsor is a business, we can dedicate a web page in the name of their company on Shweir.com and their business will be mentioned on Shwier.com home page with a link to their web page while we promote and announce the event.

These are some thoughts that come to mind at this time. We are receptive to other creative suggestions to help make this happen.

Thinking on a positive note, best approach would be for someone in Shweir or Lebanon that is well connected with the Volley Ball and businesses to coordinate sponsorsip(s). Trusting that this will be a successful event, it can be held annually around mid August, and/or can be incorporated into the Emigrants Festival.

BTW, does anyone know when the Emigrants Festival will be held this year?

Chevalier,

Whatever happened to the Kahraba player Mohammad Badr Eddine? He was la crème de la crème in all of Lebanon. Now, I believe, is Alan Saadeh.

Anwar, here's a suggestion: How about a yearly match between the oldies: An immigrant team vs an oldies local team? Am sure Nabil would love that (if he can still jump!) Laughing

Check out this volleyball site:

Wow, I did not there is such a website.
Mohamad Badr Al Din could be in the State. He came back shortly to Lebanon in the 80' But He was around the 35 years old, I do not know where is he now. I am from the same generation of Marhoum Abdo Mouzawak, Tony Lattouf ...

I played with Mont La Salle under the leadership of Antoine Chartier.
then trained with Kahraba but due War I had to have my own team in Ajaltoun . We had Kesourwan championship for 2 years in a row.
And used to be brorrowed to play with KFar AKAb when they use to play against Al AMAl Bikfaya and other teams.

One of the stories of the volley ball , I was watching the game of Mohamad Badriddine against China, He blew up the Ball . China won at the end and the Chinese team gave the trophy to him.

Regards

chevalier de marie and AJ,
Guys for your knowledge, when I used to play Antoine Chartier was a player and not a coach. In fact at a short period of time we were playmates. The Kahraba team was established after the government close up our Shweir Huda club. Most of us including me were recruited be the kahraba. I refused to play with a non Shweiri club but to my knowledge the only two from our team joined the kahraba was the Late and great Philip Azar and the late Naeem Labaki.
AJ,
This will give you an idea how long I have been away from the game and you the nerve to ask me if I can jump? Are you serious?
Abou Al Zooz,
If you are serious in organizing a game in Shweir I am willing to contribute with a nice Trophy. I need to know in advance so I could bring it with me when I go in August

Nice to here some old story -) I just want to mention some informations I have: (Mohamad Badr Din is working in UAE from a while, Tony Lattouf is a good friend of me still in Lebanon working at Mont la salle school), someone mentioned that Alin Saade is the best right now I want to tell you that in our team we have 2 players better then Alin what I am trying to say that Alin is from the best spikers (and not players) why? in volleyball you have best player that's mean (the player have to be a good receiver, a good defender, a good blocker, a good server, agood spiker ... which mean all arounded player) in the case of Alin he have none of those -) he's just a good spiker (so big difference!!!), I think the idea is much clear, ( the volleyball right now is too much different -), anyway).

Bawshriye goes through the finals yesterday in defeating Al Jeish 3-1, tonight Al Anwar will have the second game with Zahra.

Anwar/Nabil

Anwar yes I can have this game to be a yearly event (if you want it within the emigrants event no problem with me!) and maybe I can organize it with some foreign teams coming from outside to play friendly games in Leb like (Sydney Al Arz, Al Sherta ...)

Nabil sure I am serious just give me to next week when I come back from the finals and having the approval for the game. The date and time doesn't matter for me just let me know when you want the game to be played?

For a game to you guys I can have some x players from shweir and around (I don't want to say old because I think Nabil can still beat you all
-) to play I can also do that let me know!

Wonderful. This is one of the best and promises to be one of the most productive brain storming sessions we have had in a long time.

I think with so many Shweiry volley ball grads over the years, we can have a series of competition games between some current pros and as AJ mentioned between local and emigrants... we can add different age categories.

And Joseph, that sounds great about bringing other teams. As long as the games are well organized, we can build momentum to host series of games through out the summer. Good luck Joseph on your next game(s). We can post announcement as soon as you set them up.

I can immagine Dhour and Shweir will be buzzing with so many brushing up on their games and so many coming from over seas to participate in these events.

And of course it will be covered on Shweir.com and other international media. Stay tuned.

Any time you are ready, I will start a new "Volley Ball" web page on Shweri.com

Anwar

I think Immigrants vs local groups should be divided as such: the 50 and older group and 30-49 group.

And like Anwar mentioned, it would also be a good idea if active immigrant (US, Australia, Canada, Brazil, etc...) could compete against each other, as well as against the active local team.
