Bromley Miss Opportunity for Promotion After Goalless 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 clear chances to score 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 chance on the half-hour mark, but Shayne Lavery's header from Adam Mayor's cross hit the bar. The second half was slow to get going, but Knight's powerful shot on an 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, Grant Smith made a brilliant save to tip Kelland Watts' header over the bar. Despite a late goalmouth scramble, neither team could find a breakthrough.
