Kelso rugby match to honour coach who died suddenly aged 31

“Obviously, for me personally it’s been awful, losing my partner so suddenly,” said Donna.

“But the support of the women and the club as a whole has been huge.”

She said Eilidh’s death had been a shock for everyone.

“We were at training on the Friday night, and she was coaching fine, and then we did a team run and she just collapsed,” she said.

“One of the girls is a paramedic and the ambulance arrived within minutes, but sadly her heart couldn’t cope and she died from SADS.

“It could have been an underlying genetic thing that we didn’t know about.

“There’s still some shock really – she’d just turned 31 in April – but how people have come together since then has helped.”
