Babble congratulates Joey Peters on a brilliant career
Babble Management would like to congratulate Joanne Peters on a fantastic international career representing Australia’s female football team, the Matildas. Veteran midfielder Joanne Peters played her last international match last month and is currently enjoying a well deserved break.
Peters retired after a 13 year career with the Matildas, in which she scored 28 goals in 109 appearances. As vice captain of the Aussie team Joey was only one of 3 players to reach the 100 game milestone. She played in three women’s World Cups (1999, 2003 and 2007) and at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens. Peters played for several Australian clubs, including Newcastle in the inaugural season of the W-League, and also had stints with clubs in the US and Brazil.
Joanne is now heavily involved in making sure football continues to grow in this country. An accredited coach, Joanne is currently coaching at Hunter Sports High within their specialist Football program and also runs numerous clinics for associations and schools across the state. If you want to book Joey for your next clinic, appearance or speech then click through to her profile page here.
Congratulations on a fantastic career Joey.

Westfield Matildas V Italy
The Westfield Matildas are straight into their international campaign this year with some of the girls not having too much of a rest between the inaugural Westfield W-League competition and their first game against Italy on the 31st of January.
Keep an eye out for Babble’s very own Joanne (Joey) Peters and Katie Gill during the two games, the first being held in Sydney at Parramatta Stadium and the second match on the 7th of February at Canberra Stadium. Both matches kick off at 4pm and if you can’t make it to the games, make sure you tune into ABC1 for all the coverage.
Good luck to all the girls and may it be a succesful two games for the Westfield Matildas.
