Obituary Billy McCaw – I have had the sad news that one of North Antrim’s top flyers has passed away after a period of illness, Billy McCaw raced with fantastic success in the big Ballymoney HPS, and also duplicated with his home village Club Dervock RPS. Many records were set at his favourite distance racing mostly in the Irish National Flying Club racing in the partnership of W & L McCaw with his brother Leonard and in more recent seasons at a loft by himself. W & L McCaw scored most years, the harder the better. They won 1st Open INFC in the Friendship National from Sartilly in 1993 and in the same season were crowned National Champions. Billy himself won a Kings Cup Merit Diploma presented by the Belgium Nat Champion Freddy van de Heede at the Dundilly Hotel in Antrim in January 2013, his “Greystone Dawn” had won 151st Open Vannes in 2011 and 67th Open Vannes in 2012. Billy will be very sadly missed locally, can I send condolences on behalf of the fancy in Ireland to brother Leonard and the whole McCaw family circle at this sad time. Homer.
