Blackout had the final say in the Kashif and Shanghai National Futsal Championship last evening, as it blanketed the National Gymnasium on Mandela Avenue in darkness, forcing the abandonment of the two remaining matches by the tournament officials.

The power failure occurred at approximately 9:40pm. At the time of the stoppage, the fourth fixture between Back Circle A and Vryheid’s Lust had commenced, with the former leading 2-0. The venue does not have a backup power source. A date for the staging of the two affected fixtures will be confirmed by the officials.

Prior to the stoppage, Stabroek Ballers B, Timehri Warriors, and Espanyol recorded contrasting wins. Stabroek Ballers B dismantled Showstoppers 7-0.
