Overview
Despite a slow start to the campaign, Dumbarton were crowned champions of the Second Division with 31 points, which included a 100% home record. However promotion to the 'top flight' was again denied in the subsequent 'election' process.
There was disappointment in the attempt to qualify for the Scottish Cup, by only reaching the third round of the Scottish Qualifying Cup before losing to non-league club Galston, after two replays.
The Scottish Consolation Cup however brought some further cheer before Dumbarton eventually lost out in the final to St Johnstone.
Locally, due to league and national cup commitments, it was decided that the club would be unable to fulfil their obligations in the Dumbartonshire Cup competition, and Dumbarton withdrew after having played two games.
During the season there were also 6 'friendly' matches played, including 'benefit' games for long serving players. Of these matches, 3 were won, 2 drawn and 1 lost, scoring 13 goals and conceding 5.
Results

Promotion/Relegation Election
Dumbarton were the only applicants from the Second Division for promotion. Nevertheless it was the bottom two First Division clubs - Motherwell and Queen's Park - that maintained their' top flight' status in the end-of-season elections. In addition for the second year in succession a vote to apply automatic promotion and relegation failed.
Reserve Team
Dumbarton lost in the second round of the Scottish Second XI Cup to Rangers.
