Note : The Tasmanian Youth side played a series of matches against their counterparts in the National Youth League. Though no clear long term reason for this was offered by FFA they did say "The results of these matches will not be included in the National Youth League competition table, but will provide much needed match experience for the Tasmanian Youth representative squad." So the match is listed here as a bit of an oddity.
