Overview
Dumbarton went into the season encouraged by the positive performance from the previous campaign, and indeed with 6 wins and 3 draws from their first 10 games, it seemed that at last a challenge on the Division Two title could be mounted, but as before, the good results couldn't be maintained, and with only one win from the next 12 games the chance was gone. In the end, Dumbarton finished a disappointing 11th out of 18, with 30 points - half of that gathered by champions Cowdenbeath.
In the Scottish Cup, the story was no better as Dumbarton fell at the 'first hurdle' to non-league minnows Blairgowrie.
