Scottish League
With a second successive season in the Second Division, Dumbarton looked to push once more for a promotion place but by the turn of the year they were languishing in 17th place and threatened with relegation to the Third Division. Nevertheless an unbeaten 10 match run took them to 7th - but a promotion was never a reality and a 10th place finish was achieved, out of 20, with 39 points - 17 behind champions St Johnstone

Dumbartonshire Cup
The county cup reverted to knock out format and Dumbarton lost in the first round to Clydebank, after a replay.
