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 convert 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 bar with goalkeeper Jack Walton beaten. Cambridge had another chance to break the deadlock on the half-hour mark, but Shayne Lavery's header from Adam Mayor's cross crashed against the bar. The second half was slow to get going, but Knight's powerful drive on the angle forced a sharp save from Grant Smith. This sparked the hosts into life, with Ben Thompson seeing an effort from close range saved by Walton, before Jude Arthurs' follow-up chance was deflected over. With 10 minutes remaining, Smith made a superb save to tip Kelland Watts' header over, but despite a late flurry of activity in the Bromley box, neither side could find a way through. The Super 6 jackpot of £250,000 is still up for grabs and is free to play, with entries accepted until 3pm on Saturday.
