A large rugby ball for the 150th celebration of Lampeter as birthplace of Welsh rugby. The Bath stone used to create the sculpture came from the original Canterbury building on the Lampeter campus. The stone would have been standing at the same time that the first rugby match was played in 1866. The stone was dug out from the old railway bank where it was placed many years ago.
