Margaret Forsyth ONZM
    -  

Margaret Forsyth is a New Zealand netball coach and former international netball player.  She was selected for the New Zealand national netball team, the Silver Ferns, in 1979 at the age of 17.  During the 1980s, Forsyth formed a notable shooting partnership with fellow Silver Ferns shooter Margharet Matenga, known together as the “two Margs”.  She continued with the team until 1987, competing at three World Netball Tournaments and winning the world championship in that year.

Forsyth later became a Hamilton City Councillor, and in 2014 was appointed assistant coach of the Waikato Bay of Plenty Magic competing in the ANZ Championship.  In 2017 the Magic joined the new ANZ Premiership competition, and Forsyth was promoted to head coach of the team.

In the 2020 New Year Honours, she was appointed an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit, for services to netball and the community.
