The game - co-organised by former Stourbridge player Matt Webb in memory of his mum Jane - will have raised, they hope, more than £100,000 for Mary Stevens Hospice once all the proceeds from the day are calculated.

An auction of signed football and darts items was expected to boost the coffers as well.
