SYDNEY CORPORATE CUP POINTSCORE TROPHY
Conditions were quite pleasant for running, but the course changes around the Domain restaurant lengthened the course slightly and led to a big reduction in points scored.  Only 6 teams broke the 100 points mark, led by a wide margin by Environment Clean Green Runners with 156.  They were followed by Westpac Trotters with 119 and both Commonwealth Bank Harriers 1 and Ausgrid with 118 points.  Westpac Trotters retain their lead, although Environment Clean Green Runners closed the gap significantly.  The total points scored in run 3 was 2,851.
