Season 1882–83 was the tenth season in which Dumbarton competed at a Scottish national level, entering the Scottish Cup for the tenth time.
Overview
Following two seasons as runners-up, it was 'third time lucky' for Dumbarton in the Scottish Cup where they were at last crowned Scottish champions. On the road to the final Dumbarton disposed of the current holders, Queen's Park in the quarter final and after a 2-2 draw, defeated their old rivals Vale of Leven in the final.[1]
In the Glasgow Charity Cup, Queen's Park got revenge for their Scottish Cup exit by beating Dumbarton in the semi final.
During the season, 19 'other' matches were played, including home and away fixtures against Vale of Leven, Hearts, Rangers, St Bernards and Cowlairs, a win over Ayrshire Cup holders Kilmarnock Portland, and a north of England 'tour' which took in three matches during the New Year holidays. In all, of these matches, 14 were won, 2 drawn and 3 lost, scoring 54 goals and conceding 18.
Dumbarton's impressive 100% home record extented into a second successive season - and the unbroken 'unbeaten' run on home soil now extended for almost 4 seasons.
