Delaney doubtful for Laois

Star forward Damien Delaney has emerged as a serious doubt for Laois ahead of Sunday's NFL clash with Down.

The Stradbally man retired early last time as Laois put Mayo to the sword and now he's facing a race against time to regain full fitness.

Boss Mick O'Dwyer also has doubts about Kieran Kelly and veteran stars Colm Parkinson and Hughie Emerson.
