A poor first period proved costly in the end.
Wesmeath's season has taking another major blow as The Lake County suffered a six point defeat to Kildare in their second game of the Joe McDonagh on Saturday.
The Midlanders were not able to recover from a slow start, falling 13 points behind after 25 minutes.
Despite a better second period that saw the match go level with five mins to go, Kildare closed out a 3-24 to 2-21 victory.
Westmeath manager Seoirse Bulfin says it's hard to put the finger on the opening half performance.
