In their only 'national' competition, Dumbarton were knocked out in the second round of the Scottish Qualifying Cup by Vale of Leven and thus failed to qualify to play in the Scottish Cup for the first time since its inception.

Locally, the Dumbartonshire Cup was played on a league basis for the first time with the top two meeting in the final.

All competing teams finished on 6 points but Dumbarton ended up in third position on goal difference.

For the third season running there were no league fixtures, and attractive 'friendlies' were becoming more difficult to arrange.
