Scottish League
In their ninth consecutive season in the Second Division, things were looking bright for Dumbarton's league challenge, as at the turn of the year they were lying only a point behind a promotion place. However a run of 5 straight defeats in January 1931 snuffed out these hopes and in the end Dumbarton finished a midtable 10th out of 20, with 38 points - 23 behind champions Third Lanark.[ 1]
Scottish Cup
Dumbarton were knocked out in the first round by Aberdeen.
Dumbarton retained the Dumbartonshire Cup, again beating Clydebank in the final, with Willie Parlane scoring all five goals.
Friendlies
Elsewhere 3 friendly matches were played, including a match against a Rangers XI and two trial matches for the Dumbartonshire Juniors. Of these matches, there was 1 win and 2 losses, scoring 4 goals for the loss of 4.
