A CORK couple made a spectacular effort to be awarded the Best Dressed Couple on the opening day of the Listowel Harvest Racing Festival which began on Sunday.
Raymond and Gillian Gilbourne, from Milltown, were the overall winners of the Lyrath Estate sponsored competition judged by Kristin McKenzie Vass.
Stylishly co-ordinated in Autumn hues of mustards and golden browns, the couple won a luxury escape to Lyrath Estate Hotel in Kilkenny including an Estate view guestroom with breakfast on both mornings and dinner in the Grill Restaurant on an evening of their choice.
