It is with a heavy heart that I write this, to let you all know of some very upsetting news...

Last Friday, the 16^th of July, Michael Buhagiar (Budgie) took his own life at home.

The details are still unclear as to why this tragedy has occurred. We may never know the reason…

However, what I can tell you is that we have all lost a good mate…

Our thoughts go out to his loved ones during this difficult time.

Arrangements have been made for his funeral, and there is an open invitation to all his friends from the cricket club to attend, if they so wish.

His funeral will take place at the Norwood Park Crematorium in Mitchell, next Wednesday the 28^th of July at 1330 (1:30 PM).

The Crematorium is located at 65 Sandford Street in Mitchell.

A wake to celebrate his life and have a few drinks with family and friends will be held afterward at the Junior Sailors Mess at HMAS Harman, off Canberra Avenue.

On behalf of his wife Tam and the TVCC we hope to see you there.

Kind Regards,

Matthew Reynolds

 Second grade took out the One Day Premiership on Sunday, defeating Weston Creek at Stirling oval.

In a low scoring affair, Creek batted first, and could only manage 97 from 47 overs. A great bowling and fielding performance from the all the boys had them on the front foot from the first ball.

With the bat, although there were a few nervous moments (2 for 5 I believe), the lads passed Creek inside 25 overs, and the celebrations began early!

A great win for Kevin Hogan (in his first season as captain) and the rest of the team, Sam Thornton, Chris Russo, Tim Crome, Michael Barrington-Smith, Brad Jones, Blake Henman, Matt Floros, Guy Randell, Reece Parry, Tim Floros and Vinesh Bennett. Awesome boys!

Flanked by sons Ryan and Sean, Paul Dunn became only the second player in Tuggeranong Valley Cricket Club history to play 300 senior grade games on Saturday at Phillip District. Paul first played for the club back in 1986, and has played in all grades from 6^th grade up to 3^rd grade. Having progressed over the years from a dashing batsman with a characteristic duck hook, Dunny now loves nothing more than terrorising opposition batsmen with his slow hand grenades.  Congrats to the man known as the “Cougar”… 400 seems just around the corner!

P. Dunn Career stats: 300 games, 3457 Runs @ 14.29, 136 Wickets @ 16.5, 92 Catches
