The 2009 Bench & Bar v Solicitors chess match for the Terrey Shaw Memorial Shield was a keenly-fought contest. The Bench & Bar won 9-5, but this result belies the close finish. The Solicitors were behind 7-5 going into the final two games, and could have forced a draw. The 2010 Bench & Bar team was Tim Reilly, Mark Robertson, John Purdy, Ken Pryde, Paul Glissan, Horst Bleicher, Michael Hall, Rob Colquhoun(c), Marcus Pessman, Gordon McGrath(vc), Andrew Bulley, Ventry Gray and Tamir Maltz.
