From the Tiwi Islands to the game's biggest stage, the Rioli name is famous for the exciting brand of football they bring to the field. Now, they've reached another major milestone with the club that started it all.

This weekend, the Riolis played their 1,000th game with St Mary's Football Club in the Northern Territory Football League.

The number surpassed when three Riolis — Shannon, Ben and Maurice Jr — lined up for the club in Darwin."To play with family, it's something really special to us, we are a really close knit family and footy is what we do," Ben said.Ben has played for St Mary's since he was a junior, and said he was proud to run out as a Rioli.

"There is a little bit of pressure but I think that's why you play footy, because you enjoy the pressure," he said."The cousins are going to be there so I know I can't not perform cause I know I'll cop it," he said.
