1950–51 Dumbarton F.C. season
Dumbarton 1950–1951 football season
The 1950–51 season was the 67th Scottish football season in which Dumbarton competed at national level, entering the Scottish Football League , the Scottish Cup and the Scottish League Cup . In addition Dumbarton competed in the Stirlingshire Cup and the Stirlingshire Consolation Cup.
Scottish League
The league campaign looked to be following those of recent years, with the first win registered after 8 attempts, however a late burst of 5 wins in the final 6 games saw Dumbarton finish in a creditable 9th place (out of 16) with 29 points, 16 behind champions Queen of the South.
Scottish Cup
The Scottish Cup saw Dumbarton exit early to St Johnstone in the first round.
Scottish League Cup
In the League Cup, qualification from the sectional games still proved a problem, finishing 4th and last, with a win and two draws being taken from their 6 games.
In the Stirlingshire Cup, Stirling Albion overcame Dumbarton in the semi-final after two draws.
Stirlingshire Consolation Cup
In a short-lived revival of the Stirlingshire Consolation Cup (a competition for those clubs eliminated early in the previous season's Stirlingshire Cup) Dumbarton finished as runners-up, again to Stirling Albion.
