Scottish Qualifying Cup

In their only 'national' competition, Dumbarton were knocked out in the second round of the Scottish Qualifying Cup by Vale of Leven and thus failed to qualify to play in the Scottish Cup for the first time since its inception.

Friendlies

For the third season running there were no league fixtures, and attractive 'friendlies' were becoming more difficult to arrange.

A dwindling fixture list saw only 11 'friendly' matches played during the season, although this included a creditable draw against Celtic and a match against Aberdeen which celebrated the opening of Pittodrie Park. In all 4 were won, 1 drawn and 6 lost, scoring 23 goals and conceding 34.
