Vivien Jones (21 June 1951 – 26 December 2010) was a lacrosse player who made the highest number of appearances for a women's international team.
[1] She won a scholarship to The Lady Eleanor Holles School, learning to play lacrosse there, before gaining a degree in teaching at St. Mary's College, Twickenham.
[2] From 1977 to 2001, Jones played 97 times for Wales, including six editions of the Women's Lacrosse World Cup from the inaugural edition in 1982 to 2001, being eligible for Scotland by birth, Wales by marriage and England by residence, after Scotland's selectors regarded her as possibly too old.
[3] Jones was one of only four players who took part in all of the first five editions of the Women's Lacrosse World Cup, the other three being Lois Richardson of England, and Sue Sofanos and Marge Barlow, both of Australia.
[1] After being treated for breast cancer by initial surgery and extensive radio and chemotherapy in the early 2000s, she continued to play, and to coach and select at school, territorial and international level until 2010.
