The sculpture consists of a 10ft diameter reflective ball being pushed in different directions by three life-size bronze figures which have been cast from local people.

The sculpture in this form is a comment on human endeavour - the figures are pushing against one another but because of the mirrored surface, are also pushing against themselves and create a tension which keeps the ball in place.

The ball reflects the human energy focusing on the roundabout where the four roads converge. Viewers see themselves in the ball which creates a sense of play.

The three models, which represent the businessman, the mother and the student are Jim Lutz, Senior Vice President at Liberty Property Trust, local mother Ann Cashell and former Liberty Property Trust UK secretary Debbie Penney.

Kevin Atherton and Lord Palumbo unveiled the model of "A Different Ball Game" on 20 May 1993.
