The Laois attacker also won crucial ball in the second half as Laois withstood a Roscommon fightback.

Laois centre back and captain Clodagh Tynan collected player of the match honours after the contest.

Orla Connolly fired over a free that came after Sarah Dooley almost found a route through to goal after a dangerous Tara Naughton delivery as the Rossies started strongly.

Laois then took over, hitting 11 of the next 12 scores, with Delaney a livewire at corner-forward.
