PORT ANGELES — Civic pride, bragging rights and the opportunity for some good-natured gloating are up for grabs during the second annual Super Cup, a soccer “derby” between rival squads from Sequim and Port Angeles.
A “derby” (pronounced Darby) is the English term for a clash between two opponents of close geographic proximity.
Each side fields the best roster of residents and recent residents they can put together.
The rivalry contest will be held at Wally Sigmar Field at Peninsula College, 1502 E. Lauridsen Blvd., with kickoff at 5 p.m. Saturday.
Sequim claimed the inaugural Super Cup 1-0 last August on the Peninsula College turf, forcing Port Angeles city councilor Cherie Kidd to treat then-Sequim Mayor Candace Pratt to lunch while wearing a Sequim jersey.
A similar wager is set for this edition of the Super Cup.
Port Angeles Mayor Patrick Downie and Sequim Mayor Dennis Smith have thrown down the gauntlet: the losing mayor has to buy lunch at the restaurant chosen by the winner, all while wearing the colors of the winning team’s high school.
The suggested donation is $5 for ages 12 and older.
Proceeds will benefit Port Angeles High School and Peninsula College soccer alum Kyle Trussell.
Trussell, who played for the Port Angeles Super Cup team in 2015, had his pelvis and legs crushed when he was run over by an 18-ton Caterpillar D6 bulldozer Sept. 28 as he worked on the landfill bluff stabilization project near the Port Angeles Regional Transfer Station.
Donations also can be made Go-Fund Me account also is available at www.gofundme.com/urjwfqx8 for Trussell.
