SYDNEY CORPORATE CUP POINTSCORE TROPHY
Conditions were a little milder than last week, but very humid and, with the series unfortunately spilling over into many people’s Christmas break, attendance and point scoring were both well down.

Macquarie Nomads have taken out the overall title by the huge margin of 249 points. The total points scored in run 6 was 275.

RABOBANK KNOCKOUT TROPHY
The two top scoring teams of round 6 met each other in the knockout final, with Domain Dashers clinching a very tight win over Macquarie Nomads 60-57. The third place playoff was even closer, with Westpac Trotters beating ASX All Ordinaries by the remarkable score of 2-0.
