Bromley Miss Opportunity to Secure Promotion After Draw with Cambridge

Bromley's bid for promotion to League One has been put on hold following a 0-0 draw with Cambridge United at Hayes Lane. Cambridge had two early chances to take the lead, with Ben Knight and Dominic Ball both missing opportunities from close range. Knight failed to convert when one-on-one with Grant Smith, while Ball's shot from Liam Bennett's cross sailed inches wide. Bromley's first scoring chance came after 25 minutes, as Omar Sownunmi's header cleared the crossbar with goalkeeper Jack Walton beaten. Cambridge threatened again on the half-hour mark, with Shayne Lavery's header from Adam Mayor's cross hitting the bar. The second half was slow to get going, but Knight's powerful shot on the angle forced a sharp save from Grant Smith. This sparked Bromley into life, with Ben Thompson's close-range effort saved by Walton, before Jude Arthurs' follow-up shot was deflected over. With 10 minutes left, Grant Smith made a superb save to tip Kelland Watts' header over, but despite a late goalmouth scramble, neither team could find a breakthrough.
