School football fans would have to wait another 24 hours to discover the fate of their beloved Premiership teams, as Secondary Schools Football League (SSFL) general secretary Laurence Seepersad confirmed a postponement of the final round of matches this morning.
As such, all games initially carded for Friday 13 November will now be held on Saturday 14 November.

“The revised SSFL Premiership schedule has been necessitated by the need to ensure fairness and uphold the principle of fair play among the three leading teams,” stated a SSFL release, “as well as those teams striving to avoid relegation in the current standings.
“This adjustment is intended to ensure that the final outcome of the competition is determined on an equitable basis, consistent with the approach adopted by the League in previous years.”
Wired868 understands that the adjustment was made due to the unavailability of flights for Signal Hill Secondary, who have to play Trinity College East in their closing game in Trincity.
The Tobago school were required to get tickets at short notice due to the postponement of their game against St Mary’s College, initially scheduled for last Saturday, which caused a ripple effect in the competition’s scheduling.

As it stands, defending champions Naparima College, St Mary’s College and Signal Hill can all be crowned 2026 Premiership champions, based on results in the final round.
And, at other end of the standings, only two from Queen’s Royal College, San Juan North Secondary, St Augustine Secondary and Trinity College (Moka) will preserve their spots for the 2027 edition of the Premiership—based on their closing matches.
The postponed matches have already forced some delays in the 2026 Intercol competition, which is now sponsored by KFC.
