SSL quit GFA for rebel future
Friday 1st August 2008, 2:30PM BST.
THE Sunday Soccer League has de-affiliated from the Guernsey Football Association. At their AGM at the RAFA Club last night, the organisation followed the Business League in breaking away from the umbrella body and with it saw their three top officials step down.
Scott Falla resigned as treasurer and is walking away from all forms of football, while secretary Mark Fallaize (pictured) and president Keith Robins chose to focus on their GFA commitments.
Robins is heavily involved with Bels, while Fallaize is a GFA referee. Both men said that it was ‘their personal preferences and nothing against the Sunday League’.
The majority vote in favour of de-affiliation had been predicted, mainly because of the GFA’s controversial ‘one player, one club’ rule and a compromise wasn’t enough to save the day.
However, despite his resignation, Falla believes that the GFA is heading in the right direction, although he feels that they have plenty of work still to do, much of it because of the past.
