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.

SYDNEY CORPORATE CUP POINTSCORE TROPHY
Conditions were remarkably good for run 5, with the showers staying away but nice and cool.  There was quite a big drop in attendance, so the total points scored was the lowest of the series.  Only 7 teams reached the 100 point mark, led by Domain Dashers with a massive 202 points.  They were followed by two other big scores: Macquarie Nomads with 180 points and Apra Running Regulators with 165.  Domain Dashers extend their overall lead.  The total points scored in run 5 was 2,893.

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.
