It’s official: Neville A. Smith tenders resignation as BVI Softball President!
This is according to a letter obtained by this news site from our many sources within the ruling National Democratic Party regime.
Mr. Smith in a letter dated February 10, 2015 to the Secretary of the Organisation Mrs. Marieta Flax-Headley confirmed his departure as head of the Softball Association.
He also thanked the board members for the opportunities extended to him in his capacity of President.
Not only President but player
Mr. Smith a softball hero not only served at the helm of the Softball Organisation for more than 8 years but played the game for over 30 years and had 12 softball titles the last one being last year with his team Power Outage.
He played softball with the Roots, Pirates and Latinos and travelled extensively with the Virgin Islands National Softball Team representing the country.
It was last year he announced that he was retiring from the active game of softball, but now he has also quit as the President of the Association, removing himself from both the game and the organisers of the sport in the Virgin Islands.
Lack of support from Hon. Walwyn
It was last year that Mr. Smith blasted the controversial sports Minister Honourable Myron V. Walwyn for doing little or nothing for sports in the Territory and softball in general. He said the promised funds from the Minister for the repair of the Old Recreational grounds in Long Bush, on Tortola was not forthcoming and it affected the sport of Softball.
Political run?
It is reported that many voters have also been calling for Mr. Smith who is from the eastern end of the island of Tortola to throw his hat in the political ring. Many residents have gone to him to run either in the Eighth district against the newcomer Honourable Marlon A. Penn (R8) of the National Democratic Party or At-Large.
Mr. Smith who is with the Opposition Virgin Islands Party has been tight lipped on his intentions.
