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 goalless draw against Cambridge United at Hayes Lane. Cambridge had two early chances to take the lead, with Ben Knight and Dominic Ball both missing opportunities within the first 15 minutes. Knight failed to convert when one-on-one with Grant Smith, while Ball's shot from Liam Bennett's cross went narrowly wide. Bromley's first scoring chance came after 25 minutes, with Omar Sownunmi's header sailing over the bar after beating goalkeeper Jack Walton. Cambridge had another chance on the half-hour mark, as Shayne Lavery's header from Adam Mayor's cross hit the crossbar. 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 the hosts into life, with Ben Thompson's close-range effort saved by Walton, and Jude Arthurs' follow-up shot deflected over. With 10 minutes left, Smith made an outstanding save to tip Kelland Watts' header over, but despite a late scramble in the goalmouth, neither team could find a breakthrough.
