This card comes from the Minor Counties Research Project - research is continuing on this scorecard which can be expected to change.
Devon won this low-scoring return match by 5 wickets at 5.30 pm on the second day, the game being completed in a day, with no play possible because of rain on the Friday.
Devon had also won when the two teams met at Cardiff in July.
For the winners, Light and Aston bowled unchanged through both Glamorgan innings, Light taking 11 wickets in the game for 81 runs, including 7 for 29 in the first Glamorgan innings, and Aston 9 for 51.
Light also top-scored for Devon with 41, including 2'6's .
For the losers, Creber and Nash also bowled unchanged through both innings.
Within minutes of the game being completed, there was a deluge of rain which continued well into the evening.
The match aggregate of 273 runs was the lowest of the season for a completed game.
[Missing: Umpires; in Glam 1st inns confirm whether Light bowled 19.1 overs as in GSB or 19 as in Devon sources; in Glam 2nd inns check batting order; in Devon 1st inns '4's in Light's 41; in Devon 2nd inns check batting order and confirm bowling analyses of Creber and Nash; check spelling and initials of Mackenzie.]
