Series #103 – Run 5 – 5 July 2023 – Run No. 617
SYDNEY CORPORATE CUP POINTSCORE TROPHY
Unfortunately, I missed this run so am unable to comment on the weather but assume it was “excellent for running”. Point scores took a tumble this week with ASX All Xtraordinaries being the only team to break 100 points, winning the day with 145, followed by Macquarie Nomads on 91 and Legal Eagles on 78. There was no change to the order of the top 3. The total points scored in run 5 was 1,773, the lowest of the series, so far.
| Team | Run 1 | Run 2 | Run 3 | Run 4 | Run 5 | Run 6 | Total |
| ASX All Xtraordinaries | 122 | 181 | 160 | 186 | 145 | 794 | |
| Macquarie Nomads | 109 | 173 | 161 | 172 | 91 | 706 | |
| Sydney Tax Pack | 103 | 156 | 109 | 153 | 65 | 586 |
RABOBANK KNOCKOUT TROPHY
The low scores mentioned above had a flow on effect to the Knockout with ASX All Xtraordinaries being the only team to score over 100 points. Teams making it through to the final round are Macquarie Nomads and ASX All Xtraordinaries, fighting it out for 1st and 2nd, and BT Dominators and Australian Museum Runosaurs, going all out for 3rd and 4th.
