Halsey netted the only goal as Luton clung on in a tense and exciting final 10 minutes.
Throughout the tournament, goalkeeper Atonio Katsianis made some excellent saves, while there were some strong defence and midfield skills on show by Hasnain Zaidi, Lauren Kempson, Maisie Johnstone and Halsey.
Ellie Shadbolt-Mackay, D’Cruz and Tom Quested, who normally play U10s, also showed their strength against some older players.
