Dare returned from injury and played in attack in the 12.14 (86) to 9.8 (62) victory, kicking to goals.
“Our pressure around the ball was fantastic,” he said.
“We handballed to run and create, we were more proactive.
“We had been flat-footed (in recent weeks).”
Paul Hinkley was a late omission as he recovers from injury.
Four-goal star Tim Horan was hurt and spent the final term on the bench and Patty Smith “who was BOG in the first half” copped a knock to his shoulder.
Aidan Cole and Jake Evans played in the reserves and could return to the Bombers’ senior side in coming weeks as they strive to keep their finals dream flickering.
The Bombers’ fourth win has them within six points of fifth spot on a tight Hampden league ladder.
