THE Cougars' 19-man squad to face Hemel Stags on Sunday includes several significant inclusions and omissions.

Nathan Conroy returns from an ankle injury to feature for the first time since last month's defeat at Gloucestershire All Golds, while there is a first call-up this season for Neil Cherryholme.

There is also a first inclusion for Liam Darville, who returned to action with the reserves last Saturday after missing a month through travelling.

Will Milner (concussion) does not make it following the head injury he sustained at Barrow and will not be allowed to return to the side to play until medically cleared to do so.

Scott Law (hamstring) also misses out along with Fran Welsh, who does not make the 19.

Cougars squad: Harry Aaronson, Andy Gabriel, Davey Dixon, Matty Beharrell, James Feather, Josh Lynam, Brendan Rawlins, Mike Emmett, Adam Brook, Neil Cherryholme, Nathan Conroy, Josh Tonks, Matthew Bailey, Ritchie Hawkyard, Liam Darville, Ben Sagar, Vinny Finigan, Brad Nicholson, Adam Ryder.
