EBFA President Franklin Wilson, who overlooked proceedings including the elections, congratulated the executive and encouraged them to get into work mode immediately in terms of taking the Club to the next level.
Wilson noted that the Club, unlike many others, has its own field and clubhouse and this is a plus for them. He encouraged them to work towards refurbishing the clubhouse and improving the field while committing the EBFA to assist the Club.
Williams thanked the members for reposing such confidence in him and promised to do his best to transform the Club. He reminded that discipline will be one of his key pillars as he noted that the Club has an abundance of talented players but there need to also be a high level of discipline on and off the field, exhibited by every player as well as officials.
The new executive is expected to meet on Saturday to come up with their work programme for the remainder of the year and beyond.
Grove is the fourth EBFA club to have held its elections and adopt a new constitution in recent months. The others are Highway United located at Yarrowkabra on the Linden Soesdyke Highway, Herstelling Raiders FC of Herstelling and Mocha Champs.
