Dumbarton had their best season since their return to the Second Division 11 years earlier by finishing 6th out of 18, with 37 points – just 8 behind champions Albion Rovers. It could have so been much better, particularly with just 2 home defeats, but as with many previous seasons it was the inability to win away from Boghead which prevented any real promotion hopes.[1]
