The Manawatū Cyclones’ hopes of being promoted to the Farah Palmer Cup premiership died in the dark, with malfunctioning floodlights halting their late surge in the championship final. The Cyclones lost 32-29 to Northland in the championship final at the Arena on Sunday evening, with the winning side earning promotion to the premiership next year. The game was interrupted when three of the four floodlights went out with five and a half minutes left. Manawatū had been rallying against a tiring Northland. The Cyclones scored with six minutes remaining to trail 32-29 and it looked like Northland were on the ropes.

But the lights went out and the game was stopped at 6.45pm for about 10 minutes. It’s understood one of the generators failed and the lights had to be switched on to mains power. Once the lights came back on, it was announced the game would start at 7.09pm. That gave Northland a breather and when game resumed they were able to repel Manawatū’s late attacks. Cyclones coach Chris Wilton was disappointed with the result.
