Adrian Hearn, a colleague and friend of Ben, who helped organised the tournament, said: “It all went really well and everyone seemed to enjoy it.
“There were six teams involved, including one made up of Ben’s friends who went on to win the tournament and were presented with medals by Ben’s parents, Alison and Shaun.
“The idea is that it will now be an annual tournament in Ben’s memory.”
