Spirit coach Scott MansonOtago Spirit coach Scott Manson has replaced one exciting teenager with another. Rising star Olive Watherston has been named in the Otago Spirit team for its game against the Bay of Plenty Volcanix in Mount Maunganui tomorrow afternoon. The Wakatipu High School 17-year-old will be making her first-class debut and gets the opportunity after a rotten slice of luck for another immensely promising young player. The winner may well avoid relegation from the Premiership, while the loser looks set to drop to the second-tier Championship.
