Referees officiating the women's match between the Bandits and Frankston called a halt to the match early in the third quarter when water was dripping from the roof soon after a thunderstorm hit Albury around 6.30pm.

A decision was made to relocate the match and 500-strong crowd to another court in the stadium, but it was also a victim of the leaking roof and the match eventually was re-started and completed on a third court.

Amid the dramas, two buckets were fixed to the roof over the main court to sufficiently plug the leaks to allow the men's match to go ahead.

Bandits president Steve Wright said the stadium roof issues were well-known and hoped a permanent solution could be found soon.

"The referees weren't prepared to play the game while the water was leaking," he said.

"It wasn't ideal because we had 500 people in the place.

"It was a bit of a logistical nightmare, but we got there in the end.

"We've always known the roof leaks and we've got lucky that it has never affected one of our games."

He said luck was on the Bandits side with scissor lifts in the stadium and able to be swung into action to hang the buckets from the roof and stop the leak.

Mr Wright said the presence of league manager Dean Anglin also helped ensure both matches went ahead despite some delays.

"It was good for him to be there to make the final call on what was going to happen," he said.

"If he wasn't there I am not sure we would have been able to move the game.

"The refs were keen to pull the pin on the whole game, but if they did that they would have had to cancel the men's game also."

Mr Wright said Brad Chalmers was the person under the most pressure on the night as the stadium manager and also coach of the Bandits men's team.

Despite the dramas the Bandits women's team won their match 98-76 and stay in play-off contention.

"It's a great stadium and you would think it would be maintained," Bandits coach Lauren Jackson said.

"The girls handled adversity, normally people would quit after that and give up but all of them, including Frankston, went and played like nothing was happening.

"I'm just really proud of our fans and players for getting through it."

Albury Council general manager Frank Zaknich issued an apology for any inconvenience and thanked patrons for their patience.

"Council will investigate the cause of the leak and institute repairs," he said.

"Meanwhile, ongoing maintenance and repair work will continue, to reduce the risk of a repeat until the roof can be replaced.

"The stage one redevelopment of the stadium will include the replacement of the roof, with funding approved in the 2019-20 budget for detailed design work.

"We look forward to delivering significant improvements to the stadium."

The Bandits men were beaten 120-105.
