Two sisters 'drank too much' free booze at a funeral before starting a brawl in a Wetherspoon pub and dragged staff members by their hair.
Katie Lewis and Sarah Lewis started the fight on St Patrick's Day this year after drinking at The Brass Balance in Birkenhead following their uncle's funeral at a bowling club on March 17.
The pair were sentenced at Liverpool Magistrates' Court on Thursday (August 24) after pleading guilty to affray after the fight in a Wirral Wetherspoon pub, the ECHO reports.

Prosecuting, Chris Howard told the court that the two were drinking having attended their uncle's funeral at a bowling club. Sarah Lewis, 41, walked up to the bar and claimed her drinks had been taken.
She then became abusive to staff and was walked out of the premises by them as a result. Katie Lewis, 40, saw her sister being taken out of the pub and jumped up before trying to grab the staff member by the hair.
Sarah then grabbed the other staff member by the hair. Katie then grabbed her victim by the hair and spun her to the floor. Photos showed that some of one victim's hair had fallen out as a result of the attack, while the other sustained bruising to her leg.
Police officers attended and detained Sarah Lewis. However, while police were at the scene, she said to an onlooker: "What the f*** are you looking at? You're a mouthy little c***".
Both pleaded guilty to affray. Sarah Lewis has five previous convictions for nine offences, while her sister has 21 convictions for 43 offences.
In mitigation, Joanne Daniels said that Sarah Lewis had been a victim of violence in the past and had difficulties with her mental health as a result. About the
