Adverse weather conditions across the United Kingdom may force snooker star Mark Allen to miss the English Open after his flight was cancelled.
'The Pistol' took to social media on Sunday evening to confirm he was "in a race against time" to make it to the Brentwood Centre in Essex before Monday's deadline. Allen, 36, is scheduled to face Mitchell Mann at 7 p.m. local time, but it remains uncertain as to whether the veteran will beat the clock.
There is hope for the Northern Irishman, however, after he managed to board a plane in the wee hours of Monday morning. The consolation flight landed him a little wayward of his destination in south England, however, meaning a "long drive" in icy conditions stands between him and Essex.
