Scottish Southern League

Four seasons of improving performances were not to be continued, with Dumbarton suffering a disastrous start to their fifth season in the Southern League campaign which saw only 3 points earned from the first 11 games. Things were not helped by a high 'turn-over' of playing staff and Dumbarton slumped to 13th out of 16 in the Scottish Southern League with 21 points - 38 behind champions Rangers.

Reserve team

Dumbarton's Second XI had similar disappointing fortunes during the season to the first team.

In the Scottish Second XI Cup, Dumbarton lost in the first round to Falkirk, and finished 9th (of 11) in the Glasgow & District Reserve League.

gollark: So you can stick some control room INSIDE the reactor with no negative impact.
gollark: A great part of this design is that it doesn't need wall adjacency.
gollark: The planner won't run on my system so I design ingame.
gollark: I have a 1000% design. If I could be bothered to expand it to 24x24x24 I'd expect >1200%.
