A stop-start Super Netball clash between the Adelaide Thunderbirds and the NSW Swifts has ended in a 25-25 draw after work to the court surface and a power outage forced an early end to the match.
The start of the match was delayed for an hour after work was completed around the decal areas at Netball SA Stadium in Adelaide.
When the game got underway, the Swifts led 16-12 at quarter-time but the Thunderbirds fought back to level the game 25-25 at halftime.
A potentially fascinating second half battle didn't eventuate as a blackout prevented the match resuming and being completed in time, with both teams taking two points.
"Earlier today we had to delay the match within the match session time window," Netball Australia head of integrity Nicole Malcher told Fox Sports.
"We extended it to allow us to complete the match within 120 minutes.
"Because we've extended it into that time, we don t have enough time to complete it within the session time window so we do have to declare the match at halftime (and) both teams will have two points for tonight's game.
"It's just really disappointing and very unfortunate circumstances tonight that a power outage has got us."
Adelaide's English shooter Eleanor Cardwell made all 13 of her attempts, including three two-point shots, with Thunderbirds shooting at 92 per cent and Swifts at 76 per cent.
