Cambridge United secured a 0-0 draw at Hayes Lane, stalling Bromley’s push for League One promotion. The hosts missed early chances when Ben Knight and Dominic Ball each failed to convert wide opportunities. A clean sheet kept Bromley at a point behind their rivals in the current table standing today.

First half action arrived only after 25 minutes, when Omar Sownunmi's header skimmed over the crossbar, giving Bromley their first clear chance. Cambridge answered with a header from Shayne Lavery at the 30‑minute mark, but both shots fell short of the post in the first half of the game today.

The second half remained dull until Knight’s powerful drive forced a sharp save from Grant Smith. A close‑range effort by Ben Thompson was denied, and Jude Arthurs' follow‑up was cleared. With ten minutes left, Smith tipped a Kelland Watts header over, leaving both sides empty‑hearted at the end of the game.

The result keeps Bromley two points behind the promotion spot, extending their wait for a League One berth. Cambridge’s defensive solidity remains a concern for the remainder of the season, while Bromley must convert future chances to climb the table in the coming weeks and the season ahead of the.
