SYDNEY CORPORATE CUP POINTSCORE TROPHY
Cooler weather with some showers made for quite good running conditions, although with turnout continuing to be quite low in these difficult times the point scoring was generally not high. Macquarie Nomads led the way with an excellent 144 points, well clear of Reserve Bank Magic Milers on 63 and Domain Dashers on 56. The total points scored in run 1 was 682.

RABOBANK KNOCKOUT TROPHY
There was a new first in the knockout – a nil-nil draw! There are only four knockout matches in round 1, to reduce the number of teams from 36 to 32, and inevitably the draw was in one of those matches. Commonwealth Bank Harriers 2 and APRA Standard Setters were the teams involved, and they will go into a three way tie in round 2 against newcomers ASIC – the Corporate Cops, who beat Transport Trainers 12-8. The other knockout matches saw King & Wood Mallesons beat Awesome Midday Pacers 7-2 and Commonwealth Bank Harriers 1 beat JPM Jets 31-0.
FASTEST TEAM COMPETITION
