Meeting 11 December 2019 - Steve Kirby

A lively Q&A to celebrate the festive season with this most committed and passionate of cricketers. Fiery fast bowler Steve Kirby burst onto the county scene in 2001, earning the lasting affection of Yorkshire CCC supporters for his impact in that year's Championship-winning side. Moving to Gloucestershire in 2005, then Somerset in 2011, Steve also gained England Academy, 'A' and Lions honours before a persistent shoulder injury forced his retirement in 2014. He immediately turned to coaching, inspiring a new generation of players with his 'infectious love of the game' - first as MCC Head Coach (2016-18) and now as assistant to Dave Houghton at Derbyshire CCC (2018-).

Everyone welcome - no dress code, no formalities, just a great evening talking cricket
