It was a surprise to some when Roscommon claimed Laois scalp in the first round, 2-8 to 1-8 in Rathdowney.
The Connacht girls illustrated the merit of their success, navigating the group phase without suffering any blemish to their record.
Hazel Kelly, Mairéad Lohan and Ava Mulry are important contributors to the cause, a unit overseen by Colm Kelly and Seán O’Brien.
The side seek a first title for the county in the B grade, last reaching the final in 2016, the year after being promoted as C champions.
Laois showed their qualities in their response, winning the subsequent four matches and finishing with a two-point superior score difference.
That adds to the evidence provided by the first outing that there is little to separate the sides and Niall Cuddy will be hoping the likes of Susie Delaney and Eimear Hassett can hit their stride.
Laois aim to go one step further than last year. An agonising one-point losers to Offaly and add to the victory achieved in 2019.
