NORTHWICH B bowed out of the English National Interleague finals at the group stage following a single-frame shoot-out on Saturday.
They followed a 10-5 success against Witney in their opener at Great Yarmouth with a defeat to The Club by the same score.
That set up a head-to-head with Hayes & Uxbridge A to decide who would progress to the knockout stages.
After a 9-9 draw, Martin Whitehead lost the one-off encounter without visiting the table after his opponent potted a ball off the break and then cleared the remaining balls.
Northwich had trailed 7-4 before winning four frames in succession.
