Scoil Naomh Barra withstood several late charges from Kildalkey NS to claim the Meath Primary Schools Boys Div 2 title with a narrow 0-7 to 0-5 victory at Trim this afternoon.

Scores were scarce in this tight contest, but three points in succession mid-way through the second-half put Wilkinstown in command and they held on to secure their second title in six months following their win in the Div 3 final back in May.
