A village affair at the Grove Community Centre ground on Sunday turned into tragedy, when an iron goalpost fell on the neck of a six-year-old boy killing him instantly.
Dead is Ronald Kiernon of 245 Grove Housing Scheme, East Bank Demerara. Two other children were trapped in the net when the entire goal came crashing to the ground but they escaped unhurt.
Reports are that a barbecue was being held at the ground and around 1 pm, a group of children was seen swinging on the top bar of the goal at the southern end of the ground. The entire thing then fell.
