A win in the final round would have secured the Westmeath club a place in the play-offs.
It was heartbreak for Buccaneers in the last round of the AIL on Saturday.
The Westmeath club would have secured a promotion play off spot in Division 1B of the league with a win over league leaders City of Armagh.
It wasn't to be for Eddie O'Sullivan's side who slipped to their fourth consecutive defeat on a final scoreline of 31-24.
That result coupled with Old Wesley's win away to Naas consigned the Pirates to another campaign in the division next season.
