SYDNEY CORPORATE CUP POINTSCORE TROPHY
While conditions were blissful compared with the heatwave conditions that we have been enduring, it was still warm and humid for run 1, and point scoring was quite low. Only 2 teams broke the 100 points mark, Reserve Bank Magic Milers with 107 points and NRMA Insurance with 102. They were followed in 3rd place by State Treasury with 98. The total points scored in run 1 was 2,172.

RABOBANK KNOCKOUT TROPHY
With many teams going into a repechage, only 12 teams are eliminated in round 1. Perhaps the unluckiest losers were CFS Cruisers, who lost a low-scoring but very close match to Macquarie Nomads 29-27.
FASTEST TEAM COMPETITION
Legal Eagles have got the early jump in round 1 with a score of 10, ahead of Reserve Bank Magic Milers with 6. ANZ Invincibles and Telstra Tornados share 3rd place on 5.
