SYDNEY CORPORATE CUP POINTSCORE TROPHY
Winter arrived at the Corporate Cup for run 3, but the rain mostly held off during run time enabling most runners to get a dry run in what turned out to be quite good conditions. Although numbers were a bit down the point scoring held up well with 19 teams breaking the 100 points mark. They were led by MYOB Stings with 177 points, ahead of Westpac Trotters on 163 and Legal Eagles on 156. NRMA Insurance have sneaked ahead of Commonwealth Bank Harriers 1 in the overall competition. The total points scored in run 3 was 4,104.
