Neath said news of the death of their former player had left the club "heartbroken" and paid tribute to "a real force of nature".
Jones began his senior rugby career in union with local side Tredegar Ironsides before joining Tredegar RFC, then on to Neath in 1985 - at the time one of the powerhouses of Welsh rugby.

Derry driver Devine leading the way with solid Ulster Rally lead
Derry's Callum Devine (Skoda Fabia RS Rally2) leads the way in the Newry-based Modern Tyres Ulster Rally, the penultimate round of the NAPA Auto Parts Irish Tarmac Rally Championship. At the end of Friday's opening leg of six stages he holds a 12.9-second lead over Donegal's Declan Boyle, also in a Skoda Fabia RS Rally2 with Welsh driver Osian Pryce (Hyundai i20 Rally2) 15.9 seconds further behind in third. Stating his preference for the opening stage rather than the remaining two stages of the loop, it wasn't surprising that Devine took a 9.2s lead on the first pass through the Slieve Roe stage to the north of Rostrevor. Boyle was next followed by Welsh ace Pryce, who was 6.3s further behind in third with Michael Boyle's Skoda Fabia another 2.5s behind. Pryce was best on SS2 (Camlough) where Michael Boyle's rally ended when he had an excursion that ripped two wheels from his Skoda Fabia. Out on SS3 Slieve Gullion, Declan Boyle became the third driver in as many stages to post the fastest stage time as the crews returned to the well-appointed service park at the Modern Tyres complex. There, Devine, who led Declan Boyle by just 3.9s reflected on his position. "All's good," he said. "I enjoyed the first stage but then the other two were extremely tough, especially with the jumps, it was a case of managing my pace. I'm concentrating on the championship, that is my target, That first stage, you need to be so committed to be on it and I'm looking forward to going out on it again for SS4, as for the other two, it's all about finishing them." Meanwhile, second placed Declan Boyle was happy with his pace while Pryce, on what was his first outing in some 12 months said: "I am trying to get the feeling with the car and the way I like it. It's a new car for me, new co-driver (Andy Hayes) and new team, a lot to learn." Pryce was 10.9s off top spot and 23.4 ahead of the VW Polo GTi R5 of an untroubled Darren Gass with Matthew Boyle (Ford Fiesta Rally2) in fifth. Donegal's Kevin Eves (Ford Fiesta Rally2) completed the top six. Extending his lead to 8.1s on the repeat of Slieve Rue, Devine stayed out of trouble and signed off with the best time on SS6 to lead by 12.9s. Boyle continued to punch in strong times as Pryce, who won the night's penultimate stage, reckoned some of the changes worked. An impressive performance saw Matthew Boyle (Ford Fiesta Rally2) slot into fourth from fellow Donegal driver Eves in a similar car with British driver Mark Kelly (VW Polo GTi R5) on his maiden Ulster Rally outing completing the top six. Unfortunately, Armagh's Gass, who injured three ribs in a workplace accident during the week, was forced to retire at the end of SS4 as the landings over the crests was causing him further discomfort. Laois driver Aidan Bourke (Ford Escort) leads the Modified category. There are six stages in Saturday's second and final leg.

Waterford veteran Amond named July player of the month
Waterford FC forward Padraig Amond has been named the SSE Airtricity/Soccer Writers Ireland Player of the Month for July. Carlow-born Amond may be one of the older winners of the prize but he is no stranger to collecting individual football awards. The 37 year-old, former Shamrock Rovers youths star, won four Ireland U21 caps and was voted Kildare County's Young Player of the Year before he moved cross-channel. He played extensively in the UK with Accrington Stanley, Morecambe, Grimsby Town, Hartlepool United, Exeter City and Woking but enjoyed his best spell at Newport County, making 162 appearances and scoring 41goals for the Welsh club. He joined Waterford last season and so far he has netted 26 goals in 61 appearances for the Suirsiders. Amond topped the nationwide poll on 43 points, eight ahead of last month's runner-up Dawson Devoy of Bohemians with Jad Hakiki of Sligo Rovers in third place. "I am loving my football with Waterford and every day it is exciting to come into training and work with a good group of players and a good management set up," said Amond. "It's a really good club to be around and I am loving my time. "I chalked up my 800th club career appearance recently but I want to play for as long as possible and as long as I am contributing to the team. "I feel I am doing well at the moment and I see no reason why I can't play for another few years up to my 40th birthday. "I have a plan in place for life after football. I have my coaching badges up to the 'A' licence but I also have a degree in coaching and management so I have options once I retire and something to fall back on." The Blues No 9 is looking forward to this weekend's Sports Direct Men's FAI Cup third-round clash away to Cork City at Turner's Cross and gives his team every chance of making the quarter-finals of the knock-out competition. "I think every Premier Division team left in the last 16 will fancy their chances especially with what's on offer and the possibility of European football at the end of it. "We have four all-Premier Division ties this weekend and anything can happen in Cup football so it's something we are looking at here in Waterford. "The FAI Cup is a far quicker route to European football than the league but, having said that, we are not treating Cork lightly for a moment."
