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.
