Andrew Thompson, who used to play for DRFC, died of cancer in 2008, aged just 34, so the day had special meaning for a lot of the players involved.
Although the tournament was a sevens touch rugby event, it seemed a touch bizarre that it was played as six a side.
In all, there were 16 teams that entered, with matches played on two half-size rugby pitches.
Dartmouth took down two teams; team A, the Fishmongers, was managed by Dan Callard and team B, The Riversiders, was managed by Jeff Hunt.
Both sides played some good rugby, with Team A winning four games, drawing two games and losing two. Team B won four games, lost three and drew one game.
The games were 12 minutes each, and this provided a good physical challenge for the players ahead of the new season.
No doubt the legs from the players were feeling like lead weights the next day, but a good time was had by all and it raised much-needed cash for the charity.
The Fishmongers were very pleased to earn a draw against Plymouth Albion, but The Riversiders went one better and actually beat Albion, a terrific result which should do the confidence no harm whatsoever.
The boggy ground took its toll on both Dartmouth sides, but despite this, it was a good run out for the lads and all for a definitely worthwhile cause.

Dartmouth will be back in action on Saturday, August 18, with a home friendly against Tamar Saracens to start the 2012/2013 season.
