* for losers in round one of the Richardson Cup competition

The former Club Championship Trophy of the Sheffield YMCA Chess Club used to be presented to the runners-up in the Richardson Cup competition, but that trophy appears to have been lost.

The GW Moses Trophy (formerly the TW Ward Trophy) used to be presented to the winner of a knock-out championship for champions or nominees of clubs from both the S&DCA and the Sheffield Works Chess Section, but that use ceased after the demise of the Works Chess Section.
