The executive and members of the East Bank Football Association is mourning the loss of Grove Hi Tech player, Delon Barton who passed away as a result of a vehicular accident on the Craig Public Road on May 4, last.

EBFA President Wayne Francios said that Barton’s death came as a shocker to the football fraternity noting that his last hours were spent at the Grove Playfield before he joined his friends in a car that was involved in the accident.
“We at the EBFA would like to extend our sincere condolences to Barton’s family and the Grove Hi Tech Football Club which honed his skills through the years. He was maturing into a fine player and making his contribution, was always disciplined and dedicated.”
President of the Grove Hi Tech Club, Kevin Anthony said that Barton who was born on March 26, 1981, grew up next to the Grove Playfield and was a foundation member of the club.
“Barton played with us at every junior level up to the senior team and will always be remembered as one whose efforts helped to shape the club into what it has become today, the leading club on the Eats Bank.”
Barton will be laid to rest on Sunday at the Diamond/Grove cemetery following a funeral service at the Grove Seven Day Adventist Church, Tank Street. The service begins at 13:00hrs.
