BEIRUT: Reigning Lebanese champions Champville secured their first WABA Cup title Friday after finishing first in standings with a 5-1 record.
Champville were level with both Iranian sides Petrochimi and Foolad Mahan at 5-1, but the head-to-head advantage saw the Lebanese side clinch the gold for the first time in history.
Foolad came in second, while Petrochimi completed the podium with the bronze medal. But it is Foolad who will represent Iran in the Asian clubs championship next September in Jordan next to Champville and Duhok, as only one team from each country is allowed in the championship.
The win is a major boost for Champville ahead of their final four clash with archrivals Riyadi Beirut in the domestic league as the best-of-five series starts early next week.
Champville used the tournament as a warm-up for the leagues semifinals, particularly because they were able to improve their chemistry with newcomer Jeremiah Massey (202-F-82, college: Kansas St.), who showed brilliant form during the tournament and great abilities in scoring and rebounding.
Ghassan Sarkis side also earned the chance to play for the first time in the Asian championship, as the 58-year-old manager will look to retain Asian glory after guiding Sagesse to victory in 1999 and 2000 in Beirut.
His side grabbed their second title this season after they beat Anibal Zahle to the Super Cup in October. By Danny Abboud Courtesy of: http://www.dailystar.com.lb
