Duane Jones, aged 16, of Mountain Ash, was also singles tournament winner, invitation singles tournament winner and was named player of the year – all of these awarded to him for the second year running. Duane has recently played in the Celtic Challenge Tournament in Ireland and aims to one day turn professional.
