Friar Gate, Derby born right-handed batsman Gilbert Curgenven made his first class debut for Derbyshire against Hampshire in August 1901 when he made 15 not out in his second innings. Although he played six more times that season, he only played four matches in the 1902 season and one in the 1903 season. He played in full in the 1904 season making his top score of 124 against Surrey. In the 1905 season, he was down to four matches and then was absent from English first class cricket until the 1909 season. He played a spread of games in 1909 and also in 1910 when he scored centuries against Essex and Nottinghamshire.
He went to British Columbia where in 1912 and 1913 he played for a newly formed club at Cowichan. In a match for them against the Australian tourists he took 5-89 in a non-first class game. Back in Derbyshire in the 1914 season, he played a full season that year before cricket was suspended due to the outbreak of the First World War.
During the War Curgenven was a 2nd lieutenant in the 2nd County of London Yeomanry and then joined the Royal Flying Corps. After the War, he played fully for Derbyshire in the 1921 season and made some appearances in the 1922 season which proved his last, playing his last match against Worcestershire that August.
Curgenven played 169 innings in 96 matches, scoring 3,440 runs at an average of 20.97. He scored three centuries and 18 half centuries with a top score of 124. He was a slow bowler and took 25 first class wickets at an average of 46.52 and a best performance of 3-32, and took 40 catches in the first class game.
He was the son of the son of William Curgenven a doctor and surgeon who was one of the founders of Derbyshire County Cricket Club and played for them in the 1870’s. His brother Henry also represented Cambridge University and Derbyshire in 11 first class matches in the 1896 and 1897 seasons.
