The two players who made a positive impact when they came off the reserves bench last weekend have been promoted to the Wairarapa United starting line-up for their Central League football match with Upper Hutt at Upper Hutt tomorrow.
Jonatan Almendra and Nathan Cooksley added much-needed oomph to what was a disappointing performance in the drawn fixture with Tawa and coach Phil Keinzley has been quick to reward them for their efforts.
Alemendra will join Seule Soromon and George Jermy in a three-pronged forward line while Cooksley, who scored the late equaliser against Tawa, will be in the midfield.
The full starting line-up is: Matt Borren, Josh Margetts or Carl Shailer, Waisake Sabatu, Esava Naqueleca, Jorge de la Torre, Dale Higham, Nathan Cooksley, Mirsoslav Tvaroh, Jonatan Almendra, Seule Soromon, George Jermy. Not available was skipper Adam Cowan.
