Cricket club creates Tinder profile to attract new players
A local cricket club in Surrey (UK) found a unique method of recruitment creating a women’s Tinder account in order to attract new players.
The Englefield Green Cricket Club, based in Surrey, opened up a Tinder account, where they posed as a 36-year-old female.
The profile picture, which also has a bio, shows a pint of lager placed strategically a boundary rope, with a match going on in the background.
“George, 36, looking for new players for Englefield cricket club.” They opted to leave their contact details, under “Email: egcchub@gmail.com. Twitter: @Egcc1. Insta: englefieldgreencc,” the bio read.Best of Express PremiumPremiumPremiumPremiumPremium

“At 36, your team is going to be full of truly single 30+ men. I would love to see that slip cordon!,” fan @GhoshENTsurgeon said.
“You have to be creative these days,” @RussKinks added while @SteRummerz commented: “Not a bad idea that fellas, probably would get more likes than a 36 year old account and we need a women’s team for funding so leave it to me.”
