DARWEN skipper John Cordingley makes his return from a hand injury as his side aim to bounce back from their defeat to leaders Leyland tomorrow.

Cordingley is back in the side as Darwen head north to Cumbria for their game with Kendal as they reach the half-way point of the season.

Cordingley’s men are in sixth spot and could do with a win at Shap Road to keep up the pressure on the top five.
