The Raiders Rugby League Club also known as Raiders RL or The Raiders are a semi-professional Rugby League club[1] formed in January 2015. They are based at Stebonheath Park in Llanelli.[2] Formerly called Gwendreath Valley Raiders they moved to Llanelli when the club gained entry into the Conference League South which is level 4 of the Rugby League system.[3]

The Raiders first ever match was an away friendly against Aberystwyth University in February which they won 72-6. Their first league match was a home derby win against the defending champions Valley Cougars 34-6, captain Alan Pope scoring the clubs first try. The game was watched by over 200 spectators.
