Who is Jacqui Delaney?

Jacqui Delaney is an Australian netball player and coach.

A veteran international goal attack and wing attack and two-time Commonwealth Bank Trophy MVP, she represented the Australian national netball team between 1997 and 2002, retiring after winning the gold medal at the 2002 Commonwealth Games. Having shifted from her native Adelaide to Sydney due to her husband, former footballer Roger Delaney, receiving a work posting there, she tested Netball Australia's residential requirement rules when requested to continue playing for the Adelaide Thunderbirds, rather than switch to a Sydney team. Her appeal was successful and she played for a further season in the national league before retiring to take up a coaching role with the University of Sydney team in the New South Wales state league.
