Newcastle has collected its first piece of silverware already this season, while sporting a new-looking uniform.
Playing at the women's under-16 NSW Country Championships, a red-and-blue-coloured Newcastle remained undefeated at Tuggerah earlier this week.
They beat hosts Central Coast, Western and Riverina before overcoming Central North in Tuesday's final.
Newcastle captain Kate McTaggart starred with 210 runs, scored at an average of 105, and also took six wickets.
It comes as Newcastle's top representative cricket squads move away from a more recent green kit and adopt the red and blue synonymous with the city's flagship sporting teams such as the Knights (rugby league), Jets (soccer), Wildfires (rugby union) and Northstars (ice hockey).
Newcastle will also wear the updated design at the women's under-19 NSW Country Championships, which got underway at Tuggerah on Wednesday, as well as men's tournaments (Bradman Cup, colts, seniors) throughout the summer.
