1948–49 Dumbarton F.C. season

Dumbarton's interest in the B Division Supplementary Cup was short lived with a first round exit to Cowdenbeath.

Progress from their League Cup section was again to prove too much of a challenge for Dumbarton, finishing 4th and last, with just a draw being taken from their 6 games.

Dumbarton brought some cheer to their fans with some success in the Scottish Cup before losing out in the third round to A Division opponents Hearts.

Dumbarton won a thrilling first round tie against A Division Falkirk in the 'county' cup but due to other teams' commitments the competition was never completed.
