Bromley Miss Opportunity for Promotion After Draw with Cambridge

Bromley's bid for promotion to League One has been put on hold following a goalless draw with Cambridge United at Hayes Lane. Cambridge had two clear chances to take the lead within the first 15 minutes, with Ben Knight and Dominic Ball both missing opportunities. Knight failed to convert when one-on-one with Grant Smith, while Ball's shot from Liam Bennett's cross went narrowly wide. It took Bromley 25 minutes to create their first scoring chance, with Omar Sownunmi's header sailing over the crossbar after beating goalkeeper Jack Walton. Cambridge had another opportunity on the half-hour mark when Shayne Lavery's header from Adam Mayor's cross hit the bar. The second half was slow to gain momentum, but Knight's powerful shot on the angle forced a sharp save from Grant Smith, sparking the hosts into life. Ben Thompson then saw an effort from close range saved by Walton, before Jude Arthurs' follow-up chance was deflected over. With 10 minutes remaining, Grant Smith made a superb save to tip Kelland Watts' header over the bar. Despite a late scramble in the goalmouth, neither side could break the deadlock.
