DVDs of Widnes Vikings' 62-0 victory over Whitehaven RLFC, which featured a special pre-game tribute to Kato Ottio, is available in the United Kingdom for fans who missed the match.
All funds from sales of this video will support the fundraiser to assist the late Ottio’s family.
English rugby league club, Widnes Vikings, have really gone beyond the gesture of kindness, showing their deep affection for the rising Kumul player’s death.
Ottio was signed up by the English super league club following his superb performance at the Rugby League World Cup 2017 on home soil. Sadly, he passed away.
The Vikings' second hit out of their pre-season ended in victory, as a strong home side ran out convincing winners on Friday 12th January. Tries from all angles of the field helped the Vikings to an emphatic victory at the Halton Stadium.
DVDs of Widnes Vikings’ fixtures have been in popular demand from collectors, supporters who have been unable to attend match day events, and stakeholders of the club looking for match day mementos. Copies of the recent fixtures have all sold out.
Priced at just £10, all proceeds from sales of this video will support the fundraiser to assist the late Ottio’s family.
Late Ottio was due in the UK last week alongside Kumul teammate Wellington Albert, but Widnes Vikings have given Kato’s slot in their team to Stanton Albert.
Both the Albert brothers left for the UK on Tuesday to join the Widness Vikings in the English Super League.
