DAWSON DEVOY’S strike and a John Mountney own goal sent Dundalk closer to the First Division and edged Bohemians closer to survival.
In the first half, the hosts’ Daryl Horgan blazed over a first-time volley after a Paul Doyle free-kick was cleared, before Mayowa Animasahun saw his close-range effort cleared off the line.

Bohs took the lead in the second half when Devoy rifled to the roof of the net from about 18 yards.
Dundalk needed a response and having been denied by a well-timed Jevon Mills challenge, Ryan O’Kane’s pull-back saw Horgan fire over.
Bohemians made them pay with six minutes left when Adam McDonnell’s corner was deflected to the net via Mountney with Dundalk’s survival hopes left in tatters.
