Anna Galvan

Galvan was enticed to return to top-level competition by signing with the Canterbury Tactix for the 2010 season of the ANZ Championship.

[2] She competed at the 2002 Commonwealth Games in Manchester where the Silver Ferns lost the Gold Medal match to Australia in heartbreaking fashion, losing in double extra time.

Falling pregnant just after the 2002 Commonwealth Games meant that she had to pull out of the Silver Ferns team going to the Netball World Cup, being replaced by Leana de Bruin.

[3] Galvan was also part of the New Zealand Under 21 team who went to the World Youth Cup in Canada in 1996, coming second to Australia in the final.

[4] Her son, Harry has represented New Zealand in the Junior Men’s 8 at the Super World Rowing Championships in St Catharine’s, Canada in August 2024.
