The visitors won four of the five round nine matches, with the Phoenix securing their only point of the day in the under 14s fixture - which ended in a 2-all draw.
During that draw, the two goal-scorers for Zoe Anderson's side were Lily Heckenberg and Lillian Skelly - with Sophia Parker netting both the visitors' goals.
In the under 15s game, despite a strike from skipper Beth Tomlinson, the Phoenix, coached by Brittany Anderson, lost 3-1.
Wayne Paton's under 17s team also lost 3-1 to their northern rivals, with Mia Riza being the only South East player to get her name on the scoresheet.
The reserve grade clash between the two clubs also ended at 3-1, despite Shaylee Meehan's effort for the hosts.
Finally, Norm Boardman's first grade outfit went down 6-nil to the Sydney-based club.
All five teams will be looking to rebound on Sunday when they host UNSW FC at South Nowra.
The under 14s will start the five-game slate at 8.30am before the under 15s (9.55am), under 17s (11.25am), reserve grade (1.05pm) and first grade (3pm) sides take to the field.
