FA CUP REPLAY ABANDONED DUE TO FLOODLIGHT FAILURE

CHICHESTER's FA Cup replay against Crawley Down on Tuesday night was abandoned due to floodlight failure. 

There was no score at the point when the Oaklands Park lights dimmed just before the interval. 

Play continued for a few minutes and then some hasty repair work was carried out in order to try and commence the second-half.  But after a 20 minute delay it was decided to call it off. 

At the time of going to press, a new date has not been set but the eventual winners of the tie will receive a £750 prize and a trip to Ryman League Division One South team Cray Wanderers
