Welcome to the new team from Evolution Mining, who are joining the Corporate Cup for the first time, and also to Liberty Legends, who are returning after a couple of series’ absence. Sadly we bid farewell, for now at least, to Suncorp who finished bottom of the team representation table with less than 45 runs last series and hence lost their spot to the new team. Hopefully we may see them again in the future.

Congratulations to Laurie Coleman of ABS Moving Averages, who completed his 350th run in run 5. Laurie is one of the legends who took part in series 1 and is still going strong. He had a long break from the Cup on family duties, missing series 44 to 86, which makes his achievement even more noteworthy. He is the 38th person to reach this milestone. Congratulations also to Clive Fletcher of Commonwealth Bank Harriers 1, who became the 64th person to reach 300 runs.
