Profile

Ben started with Mark Coghlan as a trainee professional in October 2001.

Ben is a talented player who is beginning to show consistent results. It will be interesting to see how his game develops once he is out of the Under 24 categories. He is part of real tennis’s new wave of professionals and is without doubt a future head professional

In September 2005 he won his first tournament at The Oratory in the IRTPA Satellite Tournament
