Aoife’s ensemble is first past the post on Ladies’ Day

BRIGHT sunshine, large crowds and a dazzling array of colourful styles set the scene for Ladies’ Day at Listowel Races yesterday.

Local woman Aoife Hannon, a sister of star jockey Jim Culloty, was first in the competition for the best-dressed lady, while her husband, Maurice, was among those short-listed in the male fashion contest.

Aoife impressed in a cerise and grey ensemble, with a missoni print dress and headgear of cerise and peacock plumes.
