He was a right-handed batsman and a right-arm medium-pace bowler who played for Glamorgan.
Pinch began playing club cricket for Barry, and was called up by Glamorgan in 1920, their final season as a Minor County, scoring his maiden century against Wiltshire.
A teacher by profession, he was at that time working as a teacher in Kent, but found enough time to make the trip to Glamorgan to play on several occasions, having made acquaintance with a Glamorgan official.
In 1921, Pinch became the first Glamorgan batsman to hit a century on his debut first-class match,[1] at home against Worcestershire in Glamorgan's first season of County Cricket – the only debut century for the team for sixty-four years.
This was, however, the only century of his career, and the only season in which he would rack up ten first-class appearances.
