SYDNEY CORPORATE CUP POINTSCORE TROPHY
With something like autumn conditions finally arriving, the scoring did not really reflect this and remained at moderate levels in run 6. Only seven teams reached the 100 point mark, led by Westpac Trotters with 163 points. They were followed by ANZ Invincibles with 161 points and Planning & Environment Plodders with 120. Westpac Trotters sneaked past NRMA Insurance to win the trophy by 19 points, while ANZ Invincibles raced up from 6th to take an unlikely second place. The total points scored in run 6 was 3,150.

CC AMATIL MOST IMPROVED TEAM
This competition ranks each team’s improvement in three areas over the last two series – point score, team representation and fast runs. As this is an encouragement award for teams who would not otherwise figure in the prize-giving, teams who win one of the other competitions are excluded from winning it.
