SYDNEY CORPORATE CUP POINTSCORE TROPHY
There was a cold wind blowing for run 5, and it seems everyone wanted to get their run done quickly as there were many PBs and lots of points scored.  No less than 17 teams broke the 100 point mark, led by IAG Road Runners with an outstanding 190 points.  They were followed by Macquarie Generals with 183 points and Reserve Bank Magic Milers with 172.  Macquarie Generals now have one hand on the trophy, but there is a close battle for the minor placings, with three teams separated by just 11 points.  The total points scored in run 5 was a series high of 3,687.
