Bridgwater May Lose Tony Cruz

"Bridgwater's game with Cinderford to-day may be the last in which Tony Cruz, the Bilbao (Spain) winger, will play for the Town. He has attracted the interest of Exeter City, who have approached Bridgwater about signing him. As Cruz is an amateur Exeter can ask his views in seven days' time and it will be left for him to decide. As he is a student at the International College, Exeter, he is expected to agree to join the City."
