AugustFest, which ran from last Thursday to Saturday, delivered a fun-filled programme, super crowds, spectacular views, top-class racing - but it was Jacy Ybanes who went home with a big smile after taking home the top style award.

Fashion savvy racegoers turned out in their droves to compete for the covetable title of AYU Best Dressed - but Jacy was the lucky lady deemed most stylish on the day as fashionistas brought the curtain down on AugustFest in fine style.

The fashion was fierce and judges Anna Galvin, Grace Clifford and Marietta Doran had a tough challenge selecting 11 finalists each encompassed AYU’s ethos.

Originally from the Philippines, Jacy has been living in Ireland over 15 years and currently resides in Tralee. Jacy’s stunning look was a beautiful hot pink two piece from ASOS paired with a gold clutch bag and shoes, her headpiece was a stunning pink fascinator by Montgomory Millinery, which she borrowed for the occasion. Jacy told the judges how she felt the sleeves of the top reminded her of fashion from the Philippines, so she felt that she was wearing a bit of home!

A local cafe in Killarney is hosting an event to celebrate cherished sporting memories in Killarney.

The event is taking place in Clann Housing, Coill na Darrach on June 28 and it is part of the wider Alzheimer Society of Irelands sporting memories initiative.

There will be stories, photographs, and memorabilia shared on the day.

The Alzheimer Society of Ireland is organising a sporting memories initiative which aims to harness the power of sport to spark memories and create connections with people living with dementia.

John Don O’Donoghue, who is a joint organiser of the event, is emphasising the importance of events like these for those who suffer with dementia.

He said: “They offer people, especially older adults and those living with dementia, a meaningful way to reconnect – not just with their memories, but with each other. We’ve seen first-hand how powerful it can be when someone’s face lights up remembering a match, a goal, or a moment they thought was long forgotten.”

All members of the community are welcome to attend and take part. The event is free and guests are encouraged to bring their own photos, memorabilia and stories to share.

For more information, please contact: Triona Heffernan or John Don O’ Donoghue Email: soccermemoriescafe@gmail.com
