Season 1884–85 was the 12th season in which Dumbarton competed at a Scottish national level, entering the Scottish Cup for the 12th time. == Overview == Dumbarton's run in the Scottish Cup was short-lived as they were knocked out in the third round by Pollokshields Athletic. As the sport continued to grow, so did the demand for more competitive football, and so began the setting up of regional competitions for clubs in specific counties/cities. The first was nine years earlier with the first playing of the East of Scotland Shield (formerly the Edinburgh FA Cup) and with the formation of the Dumbartonshire Football Association in March 1884, the first Dumbartonshire Cup was put up for competition. With three of the strongest teams in the country at the time playing out of Dumbartonshire, it was no easy feat to win the cup, and Dumbarton required to see off both of their strongest local rivals, Renton in the first round and Vale of Leven in the final, to become the first winners for the county cup. Dumbarton also reached the final of the Glasgow Charity Cup for the second time. Three tough matches against Rangers were followed by a final against their old adversary Queen's Park, where they lost by the only goal. During the season, 22 'other' matches were played, including a 0-0 draw against Queen's Park to celebrate the opening of the 'new' Hampden Park and 5 games were played against English opposition with mixed success. Overall, of these matches, 9 were won, 7 drawn and 6 lost, scoring 50 goals and conceding 30. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1884–85 Dumbarton F.C. season」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
