The nasty altercation broke out after light-hearted games like 'Baby Bingo' and 'Would Mummy Rather' turned sour when offensive comments were fired back and forth across the hall at Lochore Miners' Welfare Institute, Lochleven Road, Lochore. Wilson, of Kirkcaldy, admitted to seizing Pamela Ritchie by the hair, leaving her with a bald patch. Her daughter Chardonnay, 20, was also previously found guilty of assaulting the 61-year-old grandmother of the dad's family by attempting to seize her essential nasogastric feeding tube. The trial heard there was growing hostility between the relatives of the happy couple throughout what should have been a fun family get-together. Chardonnay told the court that during a game of 'Would Mummy Rather' someone from the dad-to-be's family shouted out that the new mum would rather open a bottle of wine than put a bottle on for the baby and that "everything started to escalate from there". Sarah Wilson's solicitor Stephen Morrison said: "She absolutely regrets the incident and she hadn't been drinking that day. "She continues to have a relationship with her daughter's partner but not with the rest of his family." Sheriff Susan Duff ordered £500 compensation to be paid to the victim, and added she was unimpressed by Wilson's reaction in the dock. She told Mr Morrison that Wilson would have to return to court to make sure the money had been paid, adding: 'Your client's face said an awful lot about what she thought of the sentence.' Pregnant mom-of-four 'shot dead at her baby shower while breaking up fight' is pictured as pals blast 'senseless' death Wilson will be back in court on November 5.

Darts star Jocky Wilson's family speak out after baby shower descends into chaos
Sarah Wilson, 45, and daughter Chardonnay, 20, ended up in court over the fracas but have claimed they are the victims of a two-year long vendetta. Darts legend Jocky Wilson's niece and her daughter have hit back after being convicted over a rumpus at a baby shower. Sarah Wilson, 45, and daughter Chardonnay, 20, ended up in court last week over the fracas at the family event in Fife. The baby shower, which had been attended by feuding families, ended in violence with a mum being punched and a gran claiming Chardonnay dislodged her 'essential' feeding tube. The mother and daughter were convicted last week over their part in the affair but insist they did nothing wrong. Sarah is the niece of Scottish darts legend Jocky - but reacted furiously when asked about her relationship with the late sporstman. She said: 'I'm Jocky Wilson's niece and Chardonnay is his great niece but that has nothing to do with any of this.' Speaking to the Record yesterday Chardonnay - who was given an absolute discharge by a sheriff after being found guilty - insisted she was innocent. She said: 'I didn't touch her feeding tube and I didn't pull her feeding tube out. 'I didn't do anything. It took three of them to try and attack me.' Light-hearted games at the baby shower, such as baby bingo, were ruined by offensive comments fired back and forth across the hall in Lochore, Fife, Dunfermline Sheriff Court had heard last week. The bad feeling between the families escalated to violence outside the Lochore hall. Chardonnay told the court the event had started at 1pm and was a baby shower for her sister Chantelle ahead of the birth of her daughter, which occurred a fortnight later. She said the two families were sitting at different tables and 'at first it was fine'. The court was told there was more arguing during a game of baby bingo and allegations about sexual comments being heard. There were then claims about an abusive comment, 'f****** fools', aimed at the Wilsons, being written on a paper plate. Chardonnay's mum Sarah will be sentenced on June 4 for her part in the incident. Gino Gambale, solicitor for Chardonnay, asked for his client to be given an absolute discharge as a conviction would end her career as a carer. The sheriff agreed and gave her an absolute discharge. Chardonnay continues to refute the claims she was behind an attack on Yvonne Ritchie by punching or kicking her and trying to pull out the breathing tube. Sheriff Susan Duff said it would 'not be proportionate' to impose a sentence which would end a young person's career in this case. She agreed to the defence request for an absolute discharge. Chardonnay said: 'I was accused of battering Yvonne and I was accused of attempting to pull her feeding tube out. 'This has gone on for two years. 'Four months before all of this happened I received threatening messages.' Sarah admitted in court that on 18 th May last year at Lochore Miners' Welfare Institute, Lochleven Road, Lochore, she assaulted Pamela Ritchie by seizing her by the hair and repeatedly punching her on the body. Chardonnay Wilson, of Hendry Crescent, Kirkcaldy, was found guilty of a charge that she assaulted Yvonne Ritchie, who had claimed she by attempted to seize her essential feeding tube.
