Warburton 1 travelled all the way to Mentone to play their number one side.
On a wide, tricky rink the Burras tried valiantly to keep with them before going down, 61 to 87.
Rink scores were as follows: P. Caneva 13/20; S. Lord 11/26; S. Lee-Tet 15/23 and A. Donohue 22/18.
Warburton 1 will play Burden Park 1 back at home this week.
Warburton 2 played Croydon 3 at home.
The gusty wind troubled both teams.
