PORT ANGELES — Sequim Mayor Candace Pratt feasted Thursday on the bet she won from Port Angeles City Councilwoman Cherie Kidd when the former city’s soccer team vanquished the latter’s Aug. 9.
Sequim won the first so-called Super Cup by a 1-0 score, good enough for Pratt to dine on a hot crab-and-cheese sandwich at the Chestnut Cottage restaurant, 929 E. Front St.
And for Kidd?
“I ordered crow with humble pie for dessert,” she joked, “but they were out.”
She settled for a fruit salad.
The game matched more than a dozen veterans of each city’s adult soccer teams in what sponsors billed as a derby — pronounced “darby” in Great Britain, where such city vs. city matches are common and often heatedly contested.
This, though, was a congenial match, with Sequim scoring early and holding on, despite Port Angeles’ last-minute shot on goal that hit the crossbar and dropped scoreless to the ground.
It was played at Wally Sigmar Soccer field at Peninsula College, 1502 E. Lauridsen Blvd.
A $5-per-player entry fee went to United Way of Clallam County.
Sequim colors
To hold up her end of the wager, Kidd wore a Fly Emirates (Airline) jersey in Sequim High School’s colors of purple and gold, “which I’ve never worn before in my life,” Kidd quipped.
Had Port Angeles won, Pratt said she’d have treated Kidd to lunch in Sequim.
Both Pratt and Kidd promised that the Super Cup will be repeated annually.
“I look forward to giving our jersey to the mayor next year,” Kidd said.
