Season 1965–66 was the 89th football season in which Dumbarton competed at a Scottish national level, entering the Scottish Football League for the 59th time, the Scottish Cup for the 71st time and the Scottish League Cup for the 19th time. == Overview == An uncharactaristic successful start to the league season, with only one defeat in the first ten games, saw Dumbarton at the top of the league at the end of October, and even with a winless 'blip' in November, another string of five wins on the trot followed, meaning that hopes were still high in February for that illusive promotion place. However, only 3 wins were taken from the final 16 games, and Dumbarton finished in a disappointing 12th place, with 35 points, 18 behind champions Ayr United. In the Scottish Cup, Dumbarton required to fight through two preliminary rounds, before disposing of Montrose and then Queen of the South. Aberdeen however were too tough a 'nut to crack' in the third round. In the League Cup, Dumbarton maintained a 100% record at home in their sectional ties, but the three away defeats ensured no further progress to the knock out stages. Locally, Dumbarton were unlucky in their attempt to retain the Stirlingshire Cup. A first round replay win over Division 1 opponents Falkirk was followed by a draw in the semi final against Alloa Athletic. However the tie was decided by the toss of a coin - which Dumbarton lost. Notable was the vastly reduced playing staff - with the number of players utilised being reduced from 42 the season before, to just 21! 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「1965–66 Dumbarton F.C. season」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
