Qantas Joeys Head Coach Martyn Crook used the fixture to fine tune his teams preparations for the AFC U16 Championships, which kick-offs this weekend, and as a result gave the majority of the 23-player squad match time.

Stephen Domenici opened the scoring for the Qantas Joeys just after the half-hour mark and five minutes later Eli Babalj doubled the lead with a well finished goal.

Ben Kantarovski completed the scoring for the Qantas Joeys late in the match when he headed home a Marc Warren free kick at the far post.

The Qantas Joeys open their AFC U16 Championships campaign on Sunday 5 October when they face Saudi Arabia at the Pakhtakor Stadium in Tashkent.
