Manager Mulligan would not announce
his battery for today's game, but the
chances are that Saoens, who defeated
the Laborites once before, will get
chance to repeat his performance. The
Sailors are confident they can bring
home the bacon and nave no intention
of letting up. They nave a crouch of
long standing against the L,borites,
