They were hailed as pillars of the community... then started fight at cricket club while 'extremely drunk, verbally abusive, shouting, swearing and hysterical'

A businessman and his social worker wife hailed as 'pillars of their local community' have been shamed in court as barroom brawlers after they started a drunken fight at a cricket club which left two bar staff badly injured.

Daniel and Serena Hallam were arrested after one of their victims suffered a broken jaw and another was left with broken tooth and rib when she was asked to leave the pavilion due to her boorish behaviour.

The couple had earlier been drinking heavily for three hours after they took their eight-year-old twin sons to Alsager cricket club in Cheshire to watch a Euro qualifier football match between England and Ukraine.

Mrs Hallam, 36, who is also a primary school governor, became so intoxicated she vomited over herself and the ladies' toilets and was told to go home by barmaid Samantha Beresford.
