Despite a 3-1 win in Castletown on Wednesday evening, they finished bottom of the pile after an exciting climax to determine the relegation and play-off spots.
Four teams were in the mix until the last kick of the games in Castletown, John O’Groats and Halkirk.
Swifts’ victory consigns Castletown to the promotion/relegation play-off match versus Thurso Pentland.
