Fionnuala McCormack has finished seventh in the marathon at the European Championships in Munich.

The twice European Cross-Country champion was in the lead group all the way through until the final five kilometres - she led at various points of the race.

Ann-Marie McGlynn was 28th, with Aoife Cooke 34th, and both have different reasons to be satisfied with their displays in the high noon Munich heat.
