The Midweek Warburton side’s miserable results in Grand Finals continued with a disappointing loss to Heathmont 2 at Mooroolbark last Tuesday.
On a lovely day and fine grass green, the determined Burras fought hard but steadily lost ground after the break with one rink being beaten thoroughly.
Final scores were Warburton 45 shots to Heathmont 59.
Rink scores were as follows: G. Walsh 9/ 24, R. McKail 21/ 17 and C. Boland 15/ 18.
