Series #102 – Run 2 – 15 February 2023 – Run No. 608

GENERAL BUSINESS
Congratulations to Alex WHITWORTH of Legal Eagles who completed his 400th run, the 23rd person to reach this milestone.  Alex did his first four runs in series 1 and now, at 80 years young, is still cranking out fast points for his team.

SYDNEY CORPORATE CUP POINTSCORE TROPHY
It was again a bit warm and humid, and works in the Domain led to a modified and slightly longer course, so point scoring was again not high.  For the second time this series, no team reached 100 points, with Legal Eagles top scoring with 95.  They were followed by State Treasury and JPM Jets, who both scored 67 points.  Legal Eagles move into a narrow overall lead.  The total points scored in run 2 was 1,191.

Reserve Bank Magic Milers 95 53   148

RABOBANK KNOCKOUT TROPHY
There were again a number of very close matches in the knockout competition, with five matches being decided by less than 10 points.  The closest were the top of the table clash, where BT Dominators pipped Reserve Bank Magic Milers 55-53, and a low-scoring affair where Rabobank Grasshoppers beat ANZ Incredibles 8-6.  The biggest win went to JPM Jets, who beat NRMA Insurance 67-3.

FASTEST TEAM COMPETITION
Reserve Bank Magic Milers top scored in this competition with 6 fast runs, followed by Legal Eagles with 5 and Telstra Tornados with 4.  The Magic Milers inch a further point ahead overall.
