Season 1889–90 was the 17th season in which Dumbarton competed at a Scottish national level, entering the Scottish Cup for the 17th time.
Overview
Following excellent victories over their local rivals, Vale of Leven and Renton, Dumbarton were disappointingly knocked out of the Scottish Cup at the third round stage by 3rd LRV, after a replay.[1]
There was however a good deal of success during the season as Dumbarton retained the Dumbartonshire Cup by beating Vale of Leven in the final
In addition the Greenock Charity Cup came back to Boghead, as hosts Morton were dispatched in the final.
A busy season saw 30 'other' matches played, including home and away fixtures against neighbours, Renton and East of Scotland Shield holders, Hearts, and a 3 match north of Scotland tour during the New Year holidays. There were also reports at the time of Dumbarton playing in a couple of local tournaments although details of their completion are unclear. Outside Scotland, there was a trip to play against Sunderland, and Dumbarton's first 'overseas' venture was undertaken with a match against Belfast Distillery. Overall, of these matches, 15 were won, 9 drawn and 6 lost, scoring 88 goals and conceding 56.
Note that Dumbarton had scored 122 goals in all matches during the season, the third time that the 'century' had been broken.
