GENERAL BUSINESS
Congratulations to Rod Phillips of Reserve Bank Midday Milers, who reached the mighty milestone of 500 runs in run 3.  Rod began his Corporate Cup career in series 18 back in 1994 and has a very respectable PB of 24:45.  He is the 12th person to reach this milestone, and will be the last for a while, as the next current runner is on 471 runs.

SYDNEY CORPORATE CUP POINTSCORE TROPHY
It was surprisingly warm for run 3, considering the season, but runners obviously enjoyed the conditions, as plenty of points were scored.  10 teams broke the 100 point mark, led by Domain Dashers with a quite remarkable score of 218 points.  They were followed by Macquarie Generals with 162 points and Reserve Bank Magic Milers with 155.  Legal Eagles also passed 150 with 153 points.  Domain Dashers take over from Macquarie Nomads at the top of the table, with the Magic Milers in third just 4 points ahead of Legal Eagles.  The total points scored in run 3 was 3,293.

RABOBANK KNOCKOUT TROPHY
Most results were fairly clear-cut in round 3.  Macquarie Generals were the unluckiest losers as, even though they scored a massive 162 points, they had the misfortune to come up against Domain Dashers with their 218.  At the other end of the draw, TAL Trailblazers moved through to round 4 with a 34-21 win over newcomers Deutsche Bank Dashers.

FASTEST TEAM COMPETITION
Reserve Bank Magic Milers again top scored, with 11 points, followed by Legal Eagles with 7 and Australian Museum Runosaurs with 5.  The Magic Milers further extend their overall lead and already look uncatchable.
