== Sport == [[Rhayader Town F.C.]], despite previously having some success in the [[League of Wales]] - the top-tier of domestic [[Welsh football]] between 1997 and 2002, ceased to exist in the summer of 2006. The club has since reformed, and in its inaugural season gained promotion into the Spar [[Mid Wales League]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.countytimes.co.uk/sport/Rhayader-Town-secure-promotion-to.4041094.jp|title=Rhayader Town secure promotion to Spar|publisher=County Times |date=1 May 2008}}</ref> A subsequent promotion to the [[Cymru Alliance]] followed, but a finishing position of 15th saw the team relegated after just one season. The town's [[rugby union]] team play in the Cambrian Training Mid Wales League. There is also a [[cricket]] club and thriving local [[darts]], [[dominos]] and [[Pocket billiards|pool]] leagues. The town is also well known by [[motocross]] fans. Every summer a series of events take place at the nearby Cwmythig Hill circuit, with many of Britain's top riders taking part. The race series regularly attracts over 5,000 spectators. As part of the annual carnival celebrations, Rhayader also plays host to a number of World Championship events in lesser celebrated sports, including [[wheelbarrow race|wheelbarrow racing]] and [[rock-paper-scissors]].
