McCambridge out to make point in capital

Maria McCambridge won’t lack motivation when she contests today’s Dublin City Marathon.

The 2008 winner was controversially overlooked for a place at the Olympic Games in London earlier this year and would dearly love to prove her doubters wrong with victory in the capital.

Her form this season has been impressive, running 2hrs 36mins 37secs on a tough course in Rome last March while she won the Charleville Half Marathon in 1:13:05.
