Jets player joins British cadets

Thirteen-year-old Adam Jones of Runcorn Jets has been called up to the Great Britain cadet national team. The team will travel to the Netherlands next month for a tournament against teams USA, Canada, Russia, Czech Republic and the Netherlands.

The Liverpool Daily Post reports that the young pitcher has received a £600 sports development grant from Halton Borough Council and £400 from his club's sponsor, Rocksavage Power Company. Additional support will come from donations from the congregation of Brook Chape and Adam's school, the Heath Technology College.
