SYDNEY CORPORATE CUP POINTSCORE TROPHY
The weather stayed dry for the run, but it was warm and humid and this led to low point scoring in run 5.  Only 2 teams managed to break the 100 points mark, Westpac Trotters with 129 and Ausgrid with 104.  NRMA Insurance just missed out with the third best score of 99.  Westpac Trotters now look to have the trophy wrapped up.  The total points scored in run 5 was 2,314, the lowest of the series by over 600 points.
