The Maiden Trophy is awarded to the highest finisher in the Stuart Wilson Trophy among those who have never previously won a major tournament at the club.

These players are marked with an 'X' in column one. If there is a tie for first place, a play-off match will occur to decide the winner of the Maiden Trophy.
