Bromley Miss Opportunity for Promotion After Goalless Draw with Cambridge
Bromley's bid for promotion to League One has been put on hold after they were held to a 0-0 draw by Cambridge United at Hayes Lane. Cambridge had two golden opportunities to take the lead within the first 15 minutes, with Ben Knight and Dominic Ball both missing chances. Knight failed to find the target when one-on-one with Grant Smith, while Ball's shot from Liam Bennett's cross went narrowly wide. It wasn't until the 25-minute mark that Bromley created their first scoring chance, with Omar Sownunmi's header sailing over the crossbar with Jack Walton beaten. Cambridge threatened again on the half-hour mark, with Shayne Lavery's header from Adam Mayor's cross crashing against the bar. The second half was slow to get going, but Knight's powerful drive from an 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 stunning save to tip Kelland Watts' header over, but despite a late goalmouth scramble, neither side could find a breakthrough. The Super 6 jackpot of £250,000 is up for grabs and is free to play, with entries closing at 3pm on Saturday.
