Another good start to the season - unbeaten in the first four games - was not maintained and Dumbarton never really managed to progress above mid-table, finishing in 10th place with 35 points, 20 behind champions Stirling Albion.

With 3 wins and 3 draws from their 6 games, Dumbarton won their section in the League Cup, and following a play off win over Cowdenbeath, lost a close encounter with Queen of the South in the quarter-finals.

Locally Dumbarton again lost out to Falkirk in the semi-final of the Stirlingshire Cup, after a drawn game.

Finally, amongst the friendlies played during the season were home and away fixtures against English Northern Counties League opponents, Gateshead.
