Five of Braintree Sea Angling Club members made the annual pilgrimage north to fish the EFSA Wales Cod Championship in the river Mersey estuary.  On day one the anglers were plagued by whiting and only few cod were caught.  Barrie Senior managed a couple which put him into third place.  Day two unfortunately was cancelled due to bad weather so Barrie’s third place was not challenged and gave him the bronze pin.
