Former World No.1 Mark Allen Faces Court Date in Speeding Case
Snooker star Mark Allen is set to return to court next week in relation to an alleged speeding offence after proceedings were adjourned earlier today. The case involves an accusation that the 38-year-old exceeded the speed limit in a 30mph zone earlier this year.
Allen, a former world number one and one of the most recognisable figures in professional snooker, is facing a single charge of excess speed connected to an alleged incident that took place on June 9, 2025. The matter was briefly mentioned at court, where it was decided that the case would be adjourned to a later date to allow for further consideration.
The Northern Ireland player, who has enjoyed a successful career spanning more than two decades, has won multiple ranking titles and remains a prominent competitor on the professional circuit. His appearance in court comes during an active period in the snooker calendar, where he continues to compete at the sport’s highest level.
No plea was entered during today’s hearing, and Allen was not required to give evidence. The court confirmed that the case would be revisited next week, when further details are expected to be addressed.
Legal representatives did not make any public comment following the adjournment. As with all such cases, the charge remains an allegation at this stage, and the matter will be determined by the court in due course.
Allen has yet to comment publicly on the case. His return to court next week is expected to bring greater clarity as the legal process continues.
