Frank Pinch

February 24, 1891 (age 70)

Bodmin

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, 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. Pinch continued to bat in the Glamorgan middle-order, scoring well during this first season, but from this point on his first-class averages tailed off, though his club averages remained consistently high However, in each but his last season, his best scores for the season were in or around the half-century mark, until the last season he played, 1926, in which professional non-cricketing commitments took over more of his time.
