Glamorgan won this return match by 22 runs on the second day, after Devon began their second innings required 97 runs to win..
Glamorgan had also won the game between the two teams played at Swansea in July.
Play on the first day was delayed by half an hour and did not start until noon because of the wet conditions caused by heavy overnight rain.
For the winners, there was 1 six and 4 fours in Bancroft's 73, and Nash took 9 wickets in the match for 74 runs, including 8 for 31 in the Devon second innings.
In the Glamorgan first innings Russell and Creber added 55 runs for the ninth wicket.
For the losers, Light took 9 wickets in the game for 112 runs.
Leggett's 38 was the top-score for Devon with 2 fours.
