This was to be another 'almost' season for Dumbarton in Division 2, but as in the previous campaign the final run-in was to be decisive with only one win taken from the last six games.
In the League Cup, qualification was there for the taking, with 3 wins and a draw from the first 5 games, but a final home defeat to Arbroath meant that Dumbarton would miss out again on progression.
Amongst the friendlies played during the season were three matches against English opposition - a 'home and away' tie against Accrington Stanley and an away trip to Colchester United.
