Did you know that hockey had been played in Newcastle for many years under the auspices of the Y.W.C.A Sports Association before forming Newcastle District Women's Hockey Association to affiliate directly with NSW Women's Hockey Association?

Four clubs registered - Y.W.C.A; Novocastrians, Central and Stockton Nurses, with competition commencing at the No. 4 Sportsground and at Stockton Oval.

Our uniform consisted of orange flannel tunics over white shirts with brown ties, girdles, shoes and stockings, and the newly formed association managed to send a team to compete at Country Week (now called State Championships) in 1932.

Mrs Lorna Watkins (nee Brown) was our first representative player to be selected in the State team in 1935.

We wish to honour and celebrate the contributions of our members, past and present.
