DENNIS DONKOR (Riffa)
Dennis was a menace yet again as Riffa finished pool play perfect in Bucharest. They took on the ever-dominant Ub in their opener and came out swinging. Donkor put up a team-high 8 points as they earned a huge 21 - 17 victory over the Serbian Giants.
They faced the Skyliners next who are just coming off a historic win in Abu Dhabi. There was once again no stopping Donkor who ran the game through his playmaking chops but also got up points on the board. He earned 6 points in a 21 - 16 winning effort for the side from Bahrain.
