Series #103 – Run 2 – 24 May 2023 – Run No. 614
GENERAL BUSINESS
Congratulations to all round Corporate Cup legend Laurie Coleman of ABS Moving Averages, who completed his 300th run in run 2. Laurie is an original, having joined the Corporate Cup in series 1, and was also previously the Handicapper. He missed series 44 to 86 before returning, so reaching 300 is a great milestone.
SYDNEY CORPORATE CUP POINTSCORE TROPHY
Conditions were excellent for running, sunny but cool, and there was a big turnout and some big point scores. No less than 14 teams broke the 100 point mark, again led by ASX All Xtraordinaries with a massive score of 181. They were closely followed by Macquarie Nomads with 173, with Reserve Bank Magic Milers third best with 158. These three teams now fill the top three places. The total points scored in run 2 was 3,371.

RABOBANK KNOCKOUT TROPHY
There were several very high scoring matches in the knockout, with three unlucky teams scoring well over 100 but still being eliminated. Reserve Bank Magic Milers beat Macquarie Generals 158-122, Domain Dashers beat Transport Trainers 141-137 and Sydney Tax Pack beat BNP Flyers 156-146.
At the other end of the scale, two very lop-sided matches saw ASX All Xtraordinaries beat Mercernaries 181-2 and ANZ Incredibles beat State Audit 115-1.
