A perfect start of 4 wins from the first four games was followed by a run of 13 games with only a single win, meaning that Dumbarton fell away and were never serious challengers for the Division 2 title, finishing in 6th place with 43 points, 10 behind champions St Johnstone.
With only a single win and a draw from their 6 qualifying games, Dumbarton again failed to progress to the knock out stages of the League Cup.
A number of friendlies were played during the season, including home and away fixtures against English Midland League opponents, North Shields, and a benefit match against Clyde for long serving player, Hughie Gallacher.
