Skills session

Otago Volts player Ben Lockrose (centre) helps out at a skills session for young cricketers in Invercargill on Monday.

Lockrose, who grew up in Gore and attended St Peter’s College until he was 15 years old, is also a member of the Southland cricket team.

The Volts were scheduled to play Canterbury in a Ford Trophy match in Invercargill yesterday.

Taking part in the skills session was "awesome", the spin bowler said.

"I vividly remember going to these sort of promos when I was a young fellow."

It was important for young players to keep having fun, Lockrose said.

"The more you play it, the more you fall in love with it."
