WE WON GOLD! Chen Sibs’ First Pickleball Tournament Championship

WE WON GOLD!!! 🥇🏆 📍 Paddlemates, Manila 📅 September 12, 2026 🏆 KITCHENMATES OPEN 2026 — Genderless Novice Category 14 teams. Our first-ever pickleball tournament. And somehow, the Chen Sibs walked away as CHAMPIONS. 😂 After making it through the bracket rounds, there was just one game left: the championship. Final score: 15–3. From barely knowing how to properly play a pickleball game a little over a month ago, to training together, getting humbled by Sensei, working on our doubles chemistry, and finally entering our first tournament… We actually won the whole thing. 🥹 Still so much to improve and learn — but we’re pretty happy with how our first tournament turned out. 😂 Mission accomplished: Make Mama Fely proud. 🥇 And thank you Trish & Lyssa for being there and supporting us throughout our first tourna! 🫶 Chen Sibs — Kitchenmates Open 2026 Genderless Novice Champions! Onto the next one.
