The Adelaide Thunderbirds clash with the NSW Swifts was abandoned on Saturday due to technical issues after the most bizarre scenes ever witnessed in a Super Netball game.
The match was stunningly declared a 25-25 draw after work to the court surface and a 20 minute power outage forced an early end to the match.
The drama started before the match when the court was declared unsafe to play on because of slippery decals at Netball SA Stadium in Adelaide, which delayed the game by an hour.
Signage stickers were then removed and the court was washed and buffed before the game was allowed to begin.
When the game got underway, the Swifts led 16-12 at quarter-time but the Thunderbirds fought back to level the scores at 25-25 by the halfway mark.
