Title Sponsor: Allianz Bank

Last Saturday, 28 June 2025, Christy Ng hosted its first-ever Pickle Party x Allianz Bank, a high-energy pickleball tournament that served up style, sport, and surprises from 4 pm to 11 pm at Pickle Social Club, KLGCC. With over 40 teams and 80 players taking part, it was an evening where community spirit met competitive flair—all against a vibrant, fashion-forward backdrop.

This tournament wasn’t just about pickleball—it was also the soft launch of Christy Ng’s highly anticipated CN Racquet Club Collection, now available in fresh, sporty new colourways. The collection’s on-court debut was a visual treat, blending bold design with performance-ready functionality that caught the eyes of both players and spectators.

And of course, we couldn’t help but notice the many fashion-forward guests who brought serious style to the court—serving looks just as strong as their game.

Adding star power to the event were celebrities like Fahrin Ahmad, onestarbyul, and Paralympic gold medalist Cheah Lick Hou, alongside influencers like Farhan Mazlan and Imanqistnaa, all showing up and showing off their paddle game. Their presence added a fun, inclusive vibe to the tournament, blurring the line between fans and players. The tournament brought out the best in every player—competitive spirit was at an all-time high as teams showed up ready to win. From intense rallies to nail-biting finishes, everyone brought their A-game and played with heart, hustle, and serious skill. Whether seasoned players or enthusiastic first-timers, the energy on court was electric, with cheers, smashes, and fierce determination echoing throughout the evening.

To keep everyone fuelled throughout the night, participants were treated to a wide selection of refreshments at the registration area. Elevete Patisserie served up elegant cakes, muffins and macarons, while Garsa Kitchen prepared hearty homemade sandwiches. Hydration came courtesy of Shae.co’s coconut water, Spritzer’s mineral and sparkling waters, and Tapping Tapir’s Gut-C prebiotic drinks. For quick snacking, The Golden Duck provided their famous gourmet chips—perfect for a quick break between matches.

Every player walked away with a thoughtfully curated goodie bag, packed with items from beloved brands: Mighty White (bread and cakes), Elgini (socks), Granoila (granola bars), Hygr (deodorant and tinted lip balm), Tata Galtier (sunblock), and Fitbar (snack bars).

To keep everyone refreshed and hydrated throughout the evening, Spritzer and The Tapping Tapir set up beverage stands offering chilled drinks for all participants—while Shae.co kept it natural with their signature coconut water, serving up the perfect tropical boost after intense rallies on court The fun didn’t stop there—off-court, players could unwind and win extra goodies by taking part in Pickle Pong, a cheeky spin on beer pong, pickleball-style.

As the competition heated up, we made sure the energy stayed light-hearted and the vibes high. To keep spirits lifted and smiles going, we rolled out exciting surprise giveaways throughout the evening. One of the most memorable moments? A spontaneous giveaway from TOMAZ, where their CEO took the stage and flung pieces from their "TURBO" athleisure line into the crowd. Players and spectators alike rushed forward, laughing and leaping to catch the flying gear. It was chaotic, fun, and full of joy—just the kind of moment that kept tournament morale sky-high.

What truly stood out was the incredible sportsmanship on and off the court. Despite the competitive matches, there were no hard feelings—only high-fives, laughter, and mutual respect. Whether they won or lost, players cheered each other on and celebrated the spirit of the game together, often gathering for group photos to mark the moment. It was a wholesome reminder that good vibes and community always come first.

Of course, what’s a tournament without a little healthy competition? Winners didn’t just walk away with bragging rights—they also took home cash prizes, thanks to the generous support of Allianz Bank, the event’s official title sponsor.

All in all, Christy Ng’s Pickle Party x Allianz Bank was more than just a sporting event—it was a celebration of community, movement, fashion, and fun. With the successful debut of the CN Racquet Club Collection and an unforgettable night of laughter, rallies, and real connection, it’s safe to say this won’t be the last time Christy Ng takes it to the courts.
