A power cut stopped some people living in Minety from watching the big England game last night.

Around 27 neighbours in Minety experienced the electrical issue at around 5.30pm, just as the run-up to kick-off was about to get into full swing.

Most of those affected had their power back by 11.45pm - just in time to catch the winners' ceremony - while five others waited until 1.30am to have their supply restored.

Engineers from SSEN investigated the cause and carried out emergency repairs. They found a damaged underground cable and are looking into how it got damaged.

A SSEN spokesperson said: “We would like to apologise to our customers affected by yesterday’s power cut and thank them for their patience whilst our engineers worked safely and quickly to restore power.”
