Elfed Lewis "Elvet" Jones MBE (29 April 1912 – 5 October 1989)[1] was a Welsh rugby union whose international career was curtailed due to the outbreak of the Second World War.
He played club rugby for Llanelli, and in 1938 he was selected to tour South Africa with the British Isles team.
Jones began playing rugby as a schoolboy for his local county school, joining Llanelli Harlequins as a senior.
[3] In the 1934/35 season Jones continued to score regularly, but his 16 try tally was surpassed by fellow wing Bill Clement.
[4] The next season Jones regained his leading try scorer title with 20, and he also experienced his first international opposition as the touring New Zealand team came to Llanelli on 22 October 1935.
Jones showed his commitment to Llanelli and the amateur game by refusing three approaches to join the professional Northern League, all offers rumoured to have involved a signing-on fee of £400.
He was a magistrate's clerk by profession, and after the outbreak of the Second World War he joined the Royal Air Force.
