The Sid Jones Legends Competition
The Sid Jones Legends competition was introduced in the 65th anniversary season (2015-6) only for over 65's in the league. As increasing numbers of 'better players' become available to play in the Taylor Trophy (over 55's only) the senior players had less outlets for success and so the competition was borne. At the end of the 2017-8 season, when only 6 entered the competition, it was merged with the Taylor Trophy to create the Taylor Jones Legends for over 60's with the aim being to increase entry numbers.
The long-time league President, Sid, was in failing health at the time and it was felt his contribution to the league needed to be stated. In 2016, just a few days before his 100th birthday, Sid passed away.
