Series #99 – Run 3 – 2 March 2022 – Run No. 591

SYDNEY CORPORATE CUP POINTSCORE TROPHY
The predicted “rain bomb” did not eventuate and runners enjoyed light rain and mild temperatures and, while numbers were down, average scores were up.  Domain Dashers kept up their good form, top scoring with 118.  They were followed by Macquarie Nomads with 97 and PWC Fasttrack with 47.  Macquarie Nomads maintain a substantial overall lead.  The total points scored in run 3 was 687.

RABOBANK KNOCKOUT TROPHY
The top two teams met in the knockout, with Domain Dashers pulling off an upset win in the battle of the heavyweights, beating Macquarie Nomads 118-97, while newcomers ASIC – the Corporate Cops continued their run, beating Commonwealth Bank Harriers 1 26-10.  The lowest scoring match saw Apra Running Regulators beat ASX All Xtraordinaries 1-0 – a bouquet for the one Apra runner who completed the course, and a brickbat for the one ASX runner who ran, but sadly did not have their chip with them.

FASTEST TEAM COMPETITION
Legal Eagles again had the best score with 4, followed by Reserve Bank Magic Milers with 3 and Telstra Tornados with 2.  Legal Eagles inch further ahead of the Magic Milers overall.
