Legendary Wicket The search is on for players of the B2 v B3 cricket match in 1957. Tim Lowden (B2 1954-58)

n what, I believe, was 1957, I took all 10 wickets in a match for 34 runs, a feat that is not often achieved!
I am now desperately trying to locate any surviving OMs who played in this match, as I have no witness to substantiate this claim. One of the Martin Jenkins family, I believe David (B3 1955-59), who played in the match, greeted me post Christopher Martin-Jenkin’s (B3 1958-63) memorial service, ‘Hello ten-for’. That is the only reference made to me, as far as I know.

I remember that Hugh Blenkin (B3 1954 -58) also played in this match but, sadly, he is no longer with us. I was wondering if this search might unearth any witness to this moment and if other OMs have had any similar occasions since.
