Netball New Zealand is today paying tribute to one of the
greats of the game following the passing of former Silver
Fern Margaret Forsyth.
The gifted shooter was selected
for the Silver Ferns in 1979, as a 17-year-old, and went on
to earn 64 Test caps in a career that included three Netball
World Cup appearances, winning the coveted title in 1979 and
1987.
Forsyth was Silver Fern number 66.
She
made her debut as a teenager against the Jamaican Sunshine
Girls and became part of a formidable shooting combination
with another rising shooter of the time, Margharet Matenga
– the pair dubbed the two Margs.
