Season 1888–89 was the 16th season in which Dumbarton competed at a Scottish national level, entering the Scottish Cup for the 16th time. == Overview == A successful run in the Scottish Cup, including a 13-1 defeat of Kirkintilloch Central in the first round (which still stands as Dumbarton's biggest ever win and the highest number of goals scored by one player in a single game), brought Dumbarton to the semi final and their first ever meeting with Celtic. On the day however the Glasgow side were to prove too strong and ran out 4-1 winners. In the Dumbartonshire Cup, the trophy was lifted for the second time, beating their closest rivals Dumbarton Athletic easily in the final. An invitation to compete in the Greenock Charity Cup was accepted, but Dumbarton lost out to the hosts Morton in the final. During the season, 28 'other' matches were played, including home and away fixtures against Vale of Leven, Dumbarton Athletic and Queen's Park. There were also matches against the current holders of the East of Scotland Shield (Mossend Swifts), the Lanarkshire Cup (Airdrie), the Renfrewshire Cup (St Mirren) and the Stirlingshire Cup (East Stirling), and a 3 match tour of the north of Scotland during the New Year holidays. In England, matches were played against Sunderland and Sunderland Albion, and Dumbarton also gave the Welsh national team a tough work-out in a game at Boghead. Overall, success was mixed, with 9 matches being won, 7 drawn and 12 lost, scoring goals 74 and conceding 67. Note that this season Dumbarton appointed the club's first trainer, James Chapman from Broxburn. In addition, at the end of the season, Dumbarton amalgamated with the town's other senior outfit, Dumbarton Athletic. 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「1888–89 Dumbarton F.C. season」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
