Overview
If the 1948-49 league campaign was a disappointment, this season was to prove a disaster, with just 16 points being won and a 15th-place finish - a distant 31 behind champions Morton. Things might have been worse, however, with only 4 points separating them from relegation to Division C.
In the Scottish Cup, Dumbarton lost out in the second round to Stirling Albion, after two drawn games.
The League Cup sectional games were no more successful, finishing 3rd of 4, with two wins and a draw being taken from their 6 games.
The Supplementary Cup again saw a first round exit, this time to Stenhousemuir.
In the Stirlingshire Cup, Alloa were to prove too strong for Dumbarton in their first round clash.
Finally, two 'benefit' matches were played against strong Rangers and Clyde sides, resulting in wins in both cases.
