EDINBURGH Kings coach Danny Costello has ordered his men to "jump to it" to stop the Saints marching on in the Scottish League.

Kings travel to face the young St Mirren side tonight (8pm) still smarting at their recent home defeat at the hands of the Paisley outfit.

Saints, Kings and Falkirk Fury, who are at home to East Lothian Peregrines at the Mariner Centre tonight, are in a three-way tie at the top of the table.

"We were significantly out-rebounded by them last time and we must improve on that – we also need to improve our shot selection after only shooting three out of 22 from beyond the three-point arc last time," said Costello, who is confident that his team have improved since the first clash.

Kings will still be without injured junior guard Lee Reilly and experienced power forward Campbell Flockhart, who is to represent GB & NI in the European Police Championships in Villanova, Spain.

Kings will be hoping that Peregrines can sneak an upset win at Falkirk.
