Dan Kirby honoured and privileged to take on Stratford RFC captaincy

NEW skipper Dan Kirby says it will be a ‘special moment’ to lead Stratford out onto the hallowed Pearcecroft turf for their season opener against Ludlow this Saturday.

Second row Kirby told the Herald it is an “honour and a privilege” to have taken over the reins as captain from Matt Cook and is hoping he can help the club challenge at the top end of the restructured Regional Two West Midlands table this season.

“Stratford has such a proud history and it’s amazing to have the opportunity to play my own little part in that,” said Kirby.
