Tom Brewster's men lost 6-5 to the Czech Republic, while, in another tight encounter, defending European champion Eve Muirhead and her team went down 5-3 to Switzerland's reigning world champions.
After his defeat, world silver medallist Brewster said: "That was a soft loss. We were a wee bit unfortunate but they took their chances. The ice was good but we made heavy weather of it, so we just need to take the positives and move on."
