NECC  traversed to the scenic Otterburn Park, 40 kms east of Montreal, to take on the Pirates of the St Lawrence in a 40-over friendly last Saturday (July 3rd).   With a chocolate factory across the street, Mont-St-Hilaire in the backdrop, and a billiard table-esque cricket field, this was a truly unique cricketing sojourn for the Burghsians.  
 
Angus Bell, captain and founder of the Pirates, has captured the ensuing action in his rib-tickling match report.  Check it out here:   http://piratesofthestlawrence.com/?p=1284. 
 
The Burghs will look to return the favor when they host the Pirates at Rideau Hall on Aug 8th.
