Rhosgoch Rangers F.C.

Rhosgoch Rangers F.C. was a Welsh football club based in Rhosgoch, Powys. The club was founded in 1989, and last played in the Mid Wales Football League Division One, having folded before the 2015–16 season.

History

The club was formed in 1989, joining the Brecon & District League. Their first match was a 3–0 loss at home to Brecon FC. They finished bottom of the league in their first season. They joined the Mid Wales South League in 1993–94, due to a declining number of teams in the Brecon & District League. They won the league in 2005–06 but failed to apply for promotion, allowing runners-up Newbridge-on-Wye to be promoted instead.

In 2010 they joined the newly formed Mid Wales Football League Division Two and in 2013–14 they won the league title, and were promoted to Division One. They lasted just one season in Division One, finishing 6th, and folded before the 2015–16 season.

They competed in the 2011–12 Welsh Cup, where they reached the first round, losing to Merthyr Saints.

Ground

The club first played at Portway Field in Rhosgoch. For a time they shared at Vale of Arrow's ground at Cae Dressy, before returning to the village at Crow Lane. They stayed at Crow Lane from the 1990s until they folded.
