Career.
Hinchion began his Gaelic football career with the Macroom minor team before winning a County Senior Championship medal with Millstreet in 1948. He subsequently joined the Canovee team, winning a County Junior Championship title in 1950. This victory resulted in Hinchion taking over the captaincy of the Cork junior team in 1951, ending the year with an All-Ireland- medal in that grade. This success saw him drafted onto the senior team and he won National League and Munster Championship medals in his debut season. Henchion won a second Munster Championship medal in 1957; however, the ultimate success eluded him after Cork's 1-09 to 1-07 defeat by Louth in the All-Ireland final.
Personal life and death.
Hinchion began his working life in the drapery business before opening an auctioneering business in Macroom. He died on 13 March 2015
