The league campaign looked to be following those of recent years, with the first win registered after 8 attempts, however a late burst of 5 wins in the final 6 games saw Dumbarton finish in a creditable 9th place (out of 16) with 29 points, 16 behind champions Queen of the South.

The Scottish Cup saw Dumbarton exit early to St Johnstone in the first round.

Source:[96] For the second successive season, Dumbarton played a reserve team in Division C (South West) and finished 15th out of 16, recording 7 wins and 4 draws from 30 matches.

Note that in addition to the reserve sides of the bigger Division A teams in South and West Scotland, the first teams of East Stirlingshire (relegated from Division B two seasons previously) and Stranraer also competed in this league.

Finally in the Reserve League Cup, with only a single win from 6 sectional matches, Dumbarton failed to qualify for the knock-out stages.
