Already established in the Shropshire junior team, the youngster is the new Harold Kaye champion of the Tanners Shropshire League.

He won the Shrewsbury-based league’s under-18 singles title by beating Pontesbury’s Kelly Price 21-17 in a topsy-turvy final at Telepost.

Jones, who bowls for the George in the Tanners league, led 9-1 and then trailed 17-15 before running out – much to the delight of bowling parents Kevin and Jane and his grandfather Neville Edwards, a past British president.
