As well as the emergence of "The Claudicants", the 1982/83 was a successful season with the 1st XV, captained by Dave Bush, winning convincingly against Leeds, Southampton, Leicester and Manchester MedicalSchools. Also, having beaten Tony Butler's team of the month – Kings Norton, the club received a mention on BRMB (Birmingham's radio station). The 2nd XV, captained by Mervyn Davies only lost three games with the Borborygmi's having an unbeaten season.
