SWANS could have three sets of brothers on duty for a second successive match when they travel to Marlow tomorrow (3pm).
The Graves', Phil and Gary, the Andrews', Simon and Ollie, and the Elford's, Robert and Maurice, helped the Bestwall boys beat High Wycombe 15-3 at home last weekend.
And if Gary is called up to replace injury victim Michael McKeown at scrum-half again, it could be the same case in tomorrow's South West Division Two East clash.
The Purbeck club have always been renowned as being a family affair' because of the way siblings, who join the club at a young age, are encouraged to progress from youth to first team ranks.
It's even conceivable that Swans could end up with five sets of brothers on the pitch at the same time this season.
Robert Elford said: "Brothers Chris and Matthew Peters have already played in the first team this term.
"They are both great props and we use them as and when we can.
"Then there are the Marshalls, Tim and Jamie. They have both played a lot of first team rugby in the last 10 years or so.
"Tim is our second team captain and they both play mainly for the seconds now, but are also around if we need them."
"So you see, having sets of brothers in our team is sort of a normal occurrence these days."
Marlow have only won once in six league games this term and are bottom of the table.
However, Robert Elford said: "Every time we go to Marlow we get a tough game, and we are expecting nothing different tomorrow, especially after losing their last season."
Swanage and Wareham: (from) Wilcox, S Andrews, Leak, P Graves, Grove, Parish, Harris, G Graves, Sheldrake, Jones, R Elford, O Andrews, Burgess, Penney, Harwood, Cottrell, Steeden, M Elford, McKeown, Price-Smith, Warren, C Peters, Tomes, Rance, Lewis, Gephaert.
