BARRY GIBNEY of Blackrock College returns to captain the Ireland Schools side in the fourth match of their Australian tour, against New South Wales Schools at the North Sydney Oval tomorrow. Gibney was rested for last Saturday's match against South Australia Schools, when Tim Cahill of PBC Cork led the team.

This is expected to be by far the toughest match of the tour so far. NSW Schools are certain to be more skilled opponents than the Irish have faced to date, and a fourth successive win may not be easy to achieve.
