At the 2006 Commonwealth Games, Jones finished 12th overall in the individual all-around competition. At the 2010 Commonwealth Games, Francesca again represented Wales in the rhythmic gymnastic competition, this time finishing in 4th place overall and winning the event's prestigious silver medal in the hoop discipline.[2] Jones is the current Welsh and British Rhythmic Gymnastics Champion [when?]. At the 2014 Commonwealth Games, she was a member of the silver-medal-winning team from Wales, and also won gold in the individual ribbon, and silver medals in the individual hoop, ball and clubs, as well as silver in the individual all-around.[3]
