Rangers also played teams from Watford, Norwich City, Ipswich Town, Colchester United and Bedford and competed excellently, earning a draw with Watford, with only narrow defeats in the other matches.
The tournament was part of the FA Eastern Region Ability Counts League, funded through the FA's Ability Counts programme, which gives disabled adults the chance to play regular competitive football.
The tournament was held in Cambridge and on the day Tony Stocks hit five goals for Rangers with Aaron Edwards also on target.
Marlon Jeremy impressed for the B team, scoring twice in their four games against some top class opponents.
Rangers manager Ron Osborne said: "The standard was very high at the tournament, and the lads showed that they were able to compete against the best in the region."
