Apparently, before leaving England, Roberto Cosulich played (for a penultimate time?) for Middlesex in a match by telephone against a geographically limited representative of Scotland. As reported by the British Chess Magazine, Volume LXXXV, No. 6, June 1965, p. 164, Cosulich, with Black on board four, drew against H[arry?] W. Richardson:

Middlesex, as County Champion, recently challenged Scotland to a match over eight boards by telephone. Scotland accepted but were unable to bring together a team representing both the East and West, so they called their team West of Scotland. The match, played on May 1st, ended on a 3–3 score with two games unfinished; these were subsequently adjudicated by P. H. Clarke in Scotland’s favour. The detailed results are as follows (Middlesex had White on the odd-numbered boards)— (1) J. Penrose (Middlesex) 1, W. A. Fairhurst (West of Scotland) 0; (2) D. G. Wells (M.) 0, M. Fallone (S.) 1; (3) T. A. Landry (M.) 0, G. Bonner (S.) 1; (4) R. Cosulich (M.) ½, H. W. Richardson (S.) ½; (5) G. Dickson (M.) 1, K. B. McAlpine (S.) 0; (6) R. Fertoszegi (M.) ½, M. J. Freeman (S.) ½; (7) D. Wright (M.) 0, P. M. Jamieson (S.) 1; (8) D. J. Rogers (M.) 0, H. D. Holmes (S.) 1.—Middlesex 3, West of Scotland 5.
