SYDNEY CORPORATE CUP POINTSCORE TROPHY
It was sunny with a cool breeze, with most of the course protected from the more blustery winds, and runners revelled in the conditions, racking up a big point score.  No less than 23 teams broke the 100 points mark, led by Westpac Trotters with 173.  They were followed by Reserve Bank Magic Milers on 165 and Environment Clean Green Runners with 164 points.  Westpac Trotters have established an early break on the field but competition is very close for the minor placings.  The total points scored in run 2 was 4,545.
