Treharris Phoenix
Although sometimes overshadowed by the established clubs in the district at Bedlinog and Nelson, there can be no denying the enthusiasm for rugby in Treharris.
The Junior and mini sections were formed in 1994, it was an idea that was born of of concerns by some of the local parents about the lack of recreational facilities for the youngsters on the district. The continued success of this club paved the way for the re-introduction of senior and youth rugby in 2009. Treharris Rugby is represented at senior level by Treharris Phoenix who compete in the WRU/SWALEC Leagues. Treharris Youth compete in the Welsh Rugby Union RAF Youth League.
