Paul Murphy and David Tyrrell scored their first goals for Bray as the Seagulls recorded a 3-2 win over UCD in the FAI Cup.
But they had to survive a late revival by UCD before reaching the last four at the Carlisle Grounds.
Former Manchester City starlet Murphy found a way past Darren Quigley, when looping a ten-yard header into the net.
Then in the 43rd minute, Tyrrell - on loan from Shels - intercepted a ball in midfield. He struck a 22-yard thunderbolt that swerved in air, deceived Quigley, and hit the
under-side of the crossbar before dropping over the line.
Wanderers Kieran O'Brien grabbed his 90th career goal from close range after 61 minutes.
UCD pulled one back in the 64th minute as the home side conceded their first goal in the competition this season. Patrick McWalter burst past Philip Keogh down the right and crossed for Robbie Martin to poke the ball home.
In the 83rd minute McWalter settled affairs with a splendid curled effort.
