Series #96 – Run 6 – 22 July 2020 – Run No. 576
GENERAL BUSINESS
The longest series in Corporate Cup history finally drew to a close and with it also ended the longest streak in Corporate Cup history. Phil SOUTH of Ausgrid was unable to come to the run, bringing to an end a phenomenal streak of 272 consecutive runs, a record which will surely never be broken.
Due to the current situation with COVID-19, there will NOT be a presentation for series 96 at this time. Team Captains with trophies from last series will be contacted in due course once a process for their return and engraving has been determined.
SYDNEY CORPORATE CUP POINTSCORE TROPHY

State Treasury have taken out the title by a margin of 178 points from Westpac Trotters, with Reserve Bank Magic Milers in third place. The total points scored in run 6 was 1,393.
