RABOBANK KNOCKOUT TROPHY
The semi-finals saw BT Dominators take on Legal Eagles and, while Legal Eagles scored a very respectable 148 points, they were well beaten by the rampant Dominators 223-148. The other semi-final was a much closer affair, with both contenders scoring well, in which Environment Clean Green Runners edged Telstra Tornados 162-150. The top two teams in the point score, BT Dominators and Environment Clean Green Runners, will now meet in the final, while Legal Eagles and Telstra Tornados will play off for third place.

FASTEST TEAM COMPETITION
Legal Eagles had the best score of 9 fast runs, closely followed by Reserve Bank Magic Milers with 8, while Veterans Affairs had the third best score of 6. Legal Eagles cannot be beaten at this stage.
