NOT FOR THE first time this season, an SSE Airtricity League match was forced to be abandoned due to floodlight failure last night.
Cabinteely hosted Athlone Town in a First Division meeting at Stradbrook, and the home side were leading 1-0 through a goal from Kieran ‘Marty’ Waters when there was a black-out in the second half.

The referee felt he had no choice but to call the game off and it will be replayed at a future date.
Speaking to Off The Ball‘s Jamie Moore for 98FM‘s Now That’s What I Call Sport afterwards, Cabo boss Eddie Gormley quickly began to lose his patience with the line of questioning.
“Listen Jamie, I’m a football manager,” said a clearly-aggravated Gormley. “I’m not an electrician. If you want to talk about the lights, go and talk to somebody who knows about generators. I don’t know anything about generators.
Speak to me about the match, I’m not speaking to you about the lights. They’re nothing to do with me.”
