Mars are certainly in the wrong letting it go for so long. Its sounds like Norwood were never invoiced absolutely appalling!!!
Norwood seem to not really care about losing Mars and I bet they would never admit to owing any money. Personally I think Norwood will be losing quite a few kids when Hillcrest have 5 full size courts they really have a lot of unhappy kids at the moment and I can't see that will change until Norwood make some leadership changes

Cmon guys, Norwood's one of those struggling battlers that need all the help they can financially. Hard making ends meet employing full time staff and giving 10 grand contracts to role players.
Let's just take a minute, put your hands in your pockets and help the flames out, every cent will help, even if it's only $50.
In the meantime to repay Mars I'm assuming junior fees will go up again.

New management are attempting to fix the problem I can assure you! The operations mng that just left didn't invoice them for well over 12 months.

I know for a fact that for the Easter tournament they were not paying anything. I assume the massive bill is for trainings

Norwood owed Mars massive $$$ that was never paid!
Mars never chased it up and let it just accumulate to an astronomical figure. The new management have said NO more.

New management there now and they were probably asked to pay court hire over Easter for the first time. Surprised that not training there as well but with the new Operations Manager, nothing surprises me as he is a knob but also Norwood were getting Mars for free since they have been running the tournament there.

Trying to pick who is playing the best basketball this season out of these 3 guards you would have to say Aaron Bruce is back in Boomers contention for the 2nd or 3rd PG spot in the London 2012 games.

Patrick Mills and Matthew Delladova would be front runners for the top 2 spots and Damian Martin for his defensive skills would have to be favourite for the 3rd spot, but based on play this year and statistics you would have to say Aaron Bruce is up there:

Bruce - 14.5ppg / 5.0apg / 2.8 rpg / 3.2 tpg / 36% 3pt
Gibson - 13.0ppg / 5.4 apg / 4.3 rpg / 2.3 tpg / 34% 3pt
Martin - 7.0ppg / 3.6 apg / 4.8 rpg / 1.4 tpg / 29% 3pt
Cadee - 5.2 ppg / 1.8 apg / 2.2 rpg / 0.8 tpg / 36% 3pt

Forgetting where each player has been in the past and how could they could have been you would have to say that based on form at the moment, Bruce deserves a chance to represent Aus again.
