Non-league Grays` FA Cup dream remained on hold after their first-round replay with Carlisle was abandoned due to a floodlight failure.
The Conference strugglers had taken a 20th-minute lead through Sam Sloma when one of the Recreation Ground`s floodlight pylons went out just as Wayne Burnett`s side were celebrating.
It was the first time the Blues had hosted a Football League club after their 1-1 draw at Brunton Park forced the League Two side to travel to Essex.
But it ended in embarrassment as, after a 20-minute delay while an electrician tried to rectify the problem, the match was abandoned.

Grays-Carlisle
FA Cupissa "yllättävä" valojen katkeaminen. Olisiko Aasiassa pelästytty vai voiko liigan ulkopuolinen joukkue pelata cup-matsia jossain kynttilänvalossa? Luulisi että tälläisiin on varauduttu jotenkin muuten kuin yhdellä sähkömiehellä?
