Scottish League

Dumbarton's sixth consecutive season in the Second Division, while certainly an improvement on the previous season, was unremarkable in most respects. A run of six league defeats at the beginning of 1928 brought the threat of relegation, but 5 wins from 6 games at the end of the season lifted the team to an 11th place out of 20 with 36 points - 18 behind champions Ayr United.[1]
