The 4.30pm game on Sunday was 1-1 at half-time when electrical problems left most of the pitch in darkness. The lighting issue became noticeable late in the half as daylight faded.
Because less than an hour of play was completed, the match will start again from zero. Rene Ferguson's header for Azzurri to open the scoring and Jared Muller's equaliser off a Dino Fajkovic strike were wiped from the record books, as were any cards.
** Northern NSW Football will host their second Mental Health Round across its premier competitions this weekend.
