“[…] It was a pleasure working with you and members of the executive over the last three years…”

The following is a letter of resignation by Secondary Schools Football League (SSFL) president William Wallace, which was offered on Monday—in the wake of criticism over his stewardship of the Trinidad and Tobago Football Association (TTFA)—but formally tendered today:

Please accept this letter as a formal notice of my resignation from my position as president of the Secondary Schools Football League.

It was a pleasure working with you and members of the executive over the last three years. I thank all the stakeholders; principals, coaches, administrators and sponsors for their unwavering support over the years.

I wish the League all success in the 2020 season and beyond. If needed I would be available to help in any way, so feel free to contact me at any time.

Yours sincerely,

William Wallace
