FOUR or five week breaks at this time of year means JJ Delaney is doing well.

He’s had plenty of them too. Since making his championship debut in 2001, there have been just four seasons where he’s known what it’s like to play twice in July.

One of them was by accident — losing to Wexford in the 2004 Leinster final forcing Kilkenny into the qualifiers.
