A Penygroes mum who threw a pint glass at a rugby club official causing in two-inch gash in the 70-year-old’s head has been jailed for six months, suspended for two years.

Margaret Mary Elizabeth Smith, of 29 Norton Road, admitted causing grievous bodily harm to Mansel Rees during the incident at Penygroes RFC on February 6 during Wales’ Six Nations match with England.

Llanelli Magistrates Court was told how Mr Rees repeatedly asked Smith, aged 21, to quiet down after she began screaming “England, England” after arriving at the club with a group of friends.

Andrew Smith, prosecuting, said Mr Rees had been standing near a radiator close to the exit door when Smith came up alongside him and began screaming and shouting at around 9.45pm.

“There was not long to go in the game and the pub was packed, but the atmosphere was very good,” said Mr Smith.

“Mr Rees’ attention was drawn to a group of males and females who were coming in and out.

“The group was screaming and shouting and it was distracting for other customers.

“The loudest and most aggressive was the defendant.”

Smith took up a position next to Mr Rees, the court was told,

“She was screaming and shouting,” said Mr Smith, “but it was the manner of her shouting that concerned Mr Rees.”

He repeatedly asked her to stop, but she refused.

“Eventually he told her that if she did not stop he would have to throw her out, but she told him not to touch her,” said Mr Smith.

"He felt she was being aggressive and intimidating and put his hand on her arm to lead her towards the exit.

“They got to a couple of feet from the door but she was resisting.

“The next thing he remembers was a blow to his forehead and the sensation of liquid running down his face.”

It was only when Mr Rees put his hand to his head that he realised he was covered in blood.

Witnesses in the bar said they had seen Smith throw the glass and it strike Mr Rees on the head.

Kate Williams, defending, said Smith was currently undergoing assessments for bi-polar disorder.

"There is an element of the complainant forcibly removing a young female and perhaps he should have dealt with it better and perhaps called the police instead,” said Ms Williams.

District Judge David Parsons, sitting with magistrates, told Smith that the offence was “particularly serious” and sat “firmly in the realm of custody”.

Smith was jailed for six months, suspended for two years.

She was also ordered to obey a 16-week curfew and remain indoors between 8pm and 6am on Fridays and Saturdays.

She must also attend a rehabilitation activity requirement for 20 days and pay £680 compensation to Mr Rees.
