Huge crowds enjoyed the warm September sunshine and soaked up the incredible atmosphere at the opening day of the Listowel Harvest Racing Festival.
It was also the premier of the much anticipated Lyrath Estate Hotel Best Dressed Couple Competition and glamorous couples from all over Ireland dressed to impress to catch the eye of fashion judge, top radio and TV personality Elaine Kinsella.
After much deliberation, it was fashion forward couple Jacy Ybanez (Tralee) and Brian O’Connor (Abbeyfeale) who had brilliantly co ordinated their monochrome dotty style to secure first place – winning the title Lyrath Estate Hotel Best Dressed Couple 2022 and a two night luxury escape to Lyrath Estate Hotel in Kilkenny, with dinner on one evening and an Afternoon Tea!

The Lyrath Best Dressed Couple Competition was the first of 6 fashion events over this Harvest Racing Festival at Listowel.
Tomorrow, Monday 19th, is the premier of a brand new competition celebrating one of fashion’s most iconic wardrobe essentials – Denim Blue Jeans !
Open to everyone, ‘Forever in Blue Jeans’ is sponsored by O’Connor’s Hardware & Farm Supplies and mc’ed by Billy Keane and will judged by a fashion panel from Listowel Race Course.
The judges tip is to think beyond jeans and a tee and consider double denim; dungarees, jackets, shirts, jumpsuits, dresses, and accessories.
There is €200 cash for the winner in the male and female category.
