For the first time this season, Bohemians strung together back-to-back victories and it lifted them six points clear of the play-off spot.
Singles from Dinny Corcoran, Keith Ward and Eoghan Stokes saw them overpower a tame Bray Wanderers side who had Gary McCabe to thank for their effort. Six minutes were on the clock when Ward's peach of a cross was bravely met by Corcoran who poked it home. Ward had his moment light on 31 minutes.
Supple's goal kick was flicked on and Ward was in behind the Bray defence and had the composure and vision to execute a wonderful lob that floated over Moran's head. Bray almost halved the deficit as Galvin unleashed a thunderbolt from almost 30 yards that Supple helplessly watched thud back into play off his crossbar.
Dylan Watts matched that effort when he broke up a bit of head tennis, swooping in smashing beautiful, serving shot off the top of Moran's crossbar. The home felt hard done by when both Galvin and Kelly were booked for simulation in the penalty area but they would win a penalty at the third time of asking.
McCabe chipped over the top and Coughlan beat Supple to it - nodding the ball by him - before being caught by the shot-stopper. Up stepped McCabe to blast to the top corner. Five minutes into the second period.
McCabe's deep free looked to be headed back across goal by Heaney but it was looping into the far corner until Oscar Brennan unconventionally turned it over. There were no more scares for Bohs against a toothless Bray and they put the tie to bed on 74 minutes as Stokes found the top corner from over 20 yards out.
