PIC: Lights out in Healy Park as Tyrone face Monaghan in NFL

Anyone with 50c for the meter?

Tyrone-Monaghan were involved in the opening game of their Division One Allianz Football league campaign tonight in Omagh when at the start of the second half the lights suddenly failed.

Monaghan were on the attack at the time when the Healy Park pitch was plunged into darkness.

The game was delayed by almost 20 minutes as officials struggled to restore power to the lights for the field.

It looked pretty spooky  as spectators and players were left in the dark.
