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 five wickets at 5.30 pm on the second day, the match 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 match 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 sixes and 3 fours. 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 match.
