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.

THE MAT GARROD MEMORIAL TEAM REPRESENTATION TROPHY
BT Dominators had the best turnout in run 5 with 14 runners, missing a perfect score only through one runner forgetting their chip.  They were followed by MYOB Stings, Reserve Bank Midday Milers and Westpac Harriers with 13 runners each.  BT Dominators now lead overall by 8 points and it would take a disaster in round 6 for them to lose from here.  The total turnout was 427 counting runners, 348 males and 79 females.
