PH8 has become the official water partner for Adelaide United for the next three years.

Taken out of the pristine limestone-filtered aquifer in the body of rock and sediment that holds groundwater based in Warooka, South Australia, PH8 Natural Alkaline Water makes it possible for fast-hydration via alkaline micro water clusters and naturally electrolyte minerals.

Alkalinity defines as a term for the capacity of water to counteract an acid. As for the pH, it is a measurement scale from 0-14 that indicates the acidity of the water, pH7 is balanced with lower values with more acidic and higher values but more alkaline.

Some of the reasons why an individual drinking PH8 natural alkaline water can benefit is the purity and naturality is 100% – in that case, nothing needs to be added or removed from the water and it contains electrolyte minerals and antioxidants such as potassium, magnesium, sodium, calcium, selenium and silica.

In regards to how healthy the manufacturing process, PH8 would not be the brand it is today if it wasn’t for stringent controls, as well as it is based at a place preventing any contamination from filing and storage, as for the health concerns there is zero E Coli for the moment that water is extracted from the aquifer, hence separating the required of ultraviolet treatment that kills off coliforms associated with E Coli.

Adelaide United Commercial Director, Adam Thomson, said in a statement:

“We’re very proud to have partnered with another South Australian organisation in PH8. PH8 will provide all our players with quality hydration across the next season, aiding in crucial match preparation and recovery.”

PH8 Director, Patrick Ho added via press release:

“For the team at PH8, partnering with Adelaide United was such an obvious fit, our water is local and our values are aligned with Adelaide United in terms of supporting local communities, we are looking forward to supporting the players and the broader team with premium hydration.”

Clifton Hill FC Set for New Era as Pavilion Upgrade Nears Completion

Community football in Melbourne’s inner north is set for a major boost, with Clifton Hill FC preparing to usher in a new chapter following the redevelopment of its pavilion at Quarries Park.

The upgraded facility, delivered with support from Yarra City Council, is expected to significantly enhance the matchday and training experience for players, families, and volunteers while supporting the club’s continued growth.

A long awaited upgrade for Clifton Hill FC

Club President Michael Tyrikos said the redevelopment represents a long-awaited milestone for the grassroots club.

“We’ve been waiting close to 10 years for this,” Tyrikos told SoccerScene. “I’ve been involved with the club for over two decades and improving the facilities has always been a major goal for us.”

The new pavilion replaces previously limited amenities, with the club formerly operating with just two change rooms and minimal communal space. The upgraded facility will provide modern change rooms, social areas, and improved spectator amenities.

Supporting growth in participation

Tyrikos explained the redevelopment will be particularly significant in supporting participation growth, including the club’s expanding girls’ program.

“Previously, we only had two change rooms, which made it difficult as our girls’ program continued to grow,” he said. “Now players can feel comfortable using proper facilities with access to showers and dedicated spaces, which is something we simply didn’t have before.”

Beyond player development, the pavilion is also expected to strengthen the club’s role as a community hub. The addition of indoor social spaces will allow families to engage more closely with the club environment, particularly during Melbourne’s winter months.

“Parents can now sit inside and watch games, and we can finally host club events, kids’ parties, and social gatherings,” Tyrikos said. “Before, we just didn’t have the capacity to bring people together like that.”

A new era at Quarries Park

Tyrikos also acknowledged the broader infrastructure improvements delivered alongside the pavilion redevelopment, including new lighting towers and an upgraded playing surface, highlighting the importance of council support in driving the project forward.

Clifton Hill FC is hopeful the new pavilion will be operational in time for its anticipated first home fixture scheduled for mid-May, marking the beginning of a new era for the community-focused club.
