The Cork footballers have improved on the Clare hurlers' use of Tinder

A few weeks ago, Clare hurler Brendan Bugler told us of the colleague who likes to mention his county status within the first two to three days of Tinder engagement.

But the Cork lads have an altogether easier way of cutting to the chase; wear the county jersey in your profile pic.
