2009–10 Dumbarton F.C. season

Season 2009–10 was the 133rd football season in which Dumbarton competed at a Scottish national level, entering the Scottish Football League for the 103rd time, the Scottish Cup for the 115th time, the Scottish League Cup for the 63rd time and the Scottish Challenge Cup for the 19th time.

Overview

Following the success of the previous season, it was manager Jim Chapman's goal to consolidate the club's position in the Second Division. However Dumbarton were to be devastated before a ball was even kicked with the tragic death during the close season of the club captain, Gordon Lennon, from a motoring accident. Nevertheless despite there being few changes to the playing staff, the league campaign started disappointingly with only 2 draws to show from the first 6 starts - resulting in the club propping up the rest of the league. It was however to be a temporary blip and although there was no consistancy in performances, a mid table 6th place was achieved in the end.

In the domestic cups however it was all bad news - no wins and no goals! In the Scottish Cup, local rivals Morton would be victorious in the third round, after a goalless draw

In the League Cup, Dunfermline Athletic had no difficulty in seeing off Dumbarton in the first round.

Finally, it was no surprise that the League Challenge Cup would witness another first round exit, and it would be Morton again who would do the damage.

Locally, the Stirlingshire Cup was resumed, and after two penalty shoot out wins in the group fixtures, the trophy would return to Dumbarton following a win in the final over Stenhousemuir.
