Joe Sweeney and Luke Breathnach shared five points upon the restart for St John’s but Egan’s 1-3 and five points from Ryan Basquel were enough to see Boden complete their second successive win.
Ballymun Kickhams did just enough to pick up their first win of the campaign with Brian Ashton’s goal central to their 1-9 to 0-7 victory over Templeogue Synge Street.
On Sunday afternoon, holders Kilmacud Crokes recovered from a sloppy opening to defeat Castleknock by 4-11 to 1-14 at Parnell Park.
Despite Paul Mannion opening the scoring, Castleknock found their form early on thanks to points from Ciarán Kilkenny, Conor Chawke and Tommy McDaniel before a goal from Chawke pushed them 1-4 to 0-2 clear.
Kilmacud struck back through goals from Shane Horan and Shane Cunningham before Shane Walsh added a third goal. However, Kilkenny’s five points from play in the half trimmed his side’s deficit to 3-6 to 1-11 by half-time.

Points from Luke Swan and McDaniels had Castleknock level by the end of the third quarter but a Hugh Kenny goal in the 49th minute and subsequent points by Mannion, Callum Pearson and Dan O’Brien saw Crokes ease home.
In O’Toole Park, St Jude’s proved too strong for 14-man St Vincent’s, prevailing by 4-11 to 0-11 with the bulk of the damage done in the final quarter.
Alex Hassett handed them a dream start with a 4th minute goal while three points from play by Pat Spillane helped build a 1-6 to 0-6 interval lead.
Liam Connerton palmed home in the 42nd minute to curtail a bright start to the second-half from St Vincent’s and with Sean Lambe dismissed in the 54th minute, St Jude’s eased home through further goals by Kevin McManamon and a Connerton penalty.
Elsewhere, Stephen Smith netted as Skerries Harps edged St Sylvester’s by 1-13 to 1-12 while Cuala recovered from their first round defeat to Raheny by beating Lucan Sarsfields by 0-17 to 0-12.
