Just after the half hour, Abs Seymour burst through from midfield and pulled the ball back to Smith to let Michael Sammut run on to the ball, but his side-footed effort went just wide of the post.
Five minutes before half-time, Romford nearly got lucky when Chris Doyle's clearance hit James Ismail in the chest and bounced just past the upright.
