Marquis Wairarapa United will have two second team players in the starting line-up and two more on the reserves bench for their Central League football match with Wellington Olympic at Wakefield Park, Wellington, tomorrow.
Mark Hemi and Arnon Tapp will be in the midfield and both Kurtis Paine and Chris Cox will probably get some playing time as the game progresses.
All four youngsters have bright futures ahead of them but confronting opposition as strong and motivated as an Olympic squad, who need to secure maximum points to retain any chance of overhauling Miramar Rangers in the race for the league title, will be a test of character.
Rather than be concerned about the challenge facing the quartet, Wairarapa United coach Phil Keinzley is excited about the prospect of seeing how they cope.
