SYDNEY CORPORATE CUP POINTSCORE TROPHY
Conditions were surprisingly good after all the rain, but again the slightly longer course around the Domain restaurant led to a lower overall point score.  Only 4 teams broke the 100 points mark, led by Westpac Trotters with 171.  They were followed by Rabobank Grasshoppers with 132 and ABS Moving Averages with 116 points.  Westpac Trotters extend their overall lead to 107 points.  The total points scored in run 4 was 2,658.
