SYDNEY CORPORATE CUP POINTSCORE TROPHY
The warm and blustery conditions saw lower point scoring than usual in run 1.  Only 10 teams broke the 100 points mark, with the top score coming from Westpac Trotters with 171.  They were followed by Legal Eagles on 149 and then remarkably three teams who all scored 126 points.  The total points scored in run 1 was 3,036.

RABOBANK KNOCKOUT TROPHY
There was a draw in the knockout, with ANZ Invincibles and BT Warriors drawing 45 all, but fortunately they were in the repechage section where both teams go through anyway – the handicapper is very relieved.  There was also very nearly a draw in the knockout section, where King & Wood Mallesons pipped State Audit 41-40.  The handicapper is again very relieved.

FASTEST TEAM COMPETITION
Legal Eagles have jumped out to an early lead with 10 fast runs in run 1, followed by NRMA Insurance with 7 and BT Dominators and Reserve Bank Magic Milers both on 5.
