The core players of the Bath Touch team play under the Shortstriders team name in the Bath and Bristol Touch Leagues.

However, when the time comes to take part in the many touch comps all over the UK, these players step up and don the black, red and white of Bath Touch Rugby Club.

The current plan is to enter tournaments as the BTRC Shortstriders.  However, the future of the club lies in having a team truly representative of the touch players/teams in Bath.
