Christine Allen’s Biography

Christine works full-time as a Business Analyst for a Government department. In her free time she likes to read (books, sports pieces, autobiographies etc), write, cycle and play snooker. Christine follows and supports Arsenal Women - her favourite player a toss up between winger Beth Mead and Ireland's very own Katie McCabe.

She also loves to watch The Rocket, Ronnie O Sullivan, potting balls at break neck speed and hopes he continues to dominate the circuit for another ten years. Raised in Dublin 24, having spent many an evening waiting for a bus in Tallaght stadiums shadow, she's recently started following Shamrock Rovers and will be covering the club further in 2024.
