Ella MacDonald is known to pretty well everyone at Armadale, and she has had a bit of a health scare recently ? but she is well on the mend as captain Matthew found out today when he paid a visit to Ella's home.

She has been confined to barracks recently after the scare, which started with a bout of double vision and some balance problems. Early fears that she might have had a stroke have been ruled out now and the recovery is under way.

In case anyone doesn't know, Ella is a mainstay of the MSSC, a forceful half cut draw ticket seller and organises buses for supporters to travel away from home, usually in conjunction with Derek Wilkinson who went out to Mayfield with Matthew this morning.

An indispensable club stalwart in other words. Ella reckons she will be in her usual place at the video night on Saturday 10th to sell the raffle tickets.
