First Division game abandoned late on due to floodlight failure

The First Division game between Cabinteely and Athlone Town was abandoned deep into the second due to floodlight failure at Stradbrook Park on Saturday evening.

Cabo had led the game – which had been moved from Friday due to a clash with rugby at the Blackrock College RFC ground – after Marty Waters' 20th-minute opener.

With the match in the final 20 minutes, the floodlights failed to adequately light up and referee Andrew Mullally judged there to be too little light to complete the game.

Cabinteely posted a photograph of the pitch when the match was abandoned.

The FAI have confirmed that the result will not stand and that the fixture will be replayed at a future date, which will be announced when confirmed.
