The opponents led a spade to the Jack then the Ace then a low one.

My esteemed opponent now made a very nice loser on loser play.

She had a club loser any way and the Spade queen was till on table. West was able to ruff but now declarer was able to claim the rest, by way of 5 trumps, 12 Diamonds, 1 Club and 2 Diamonds ruffed in dummy the short hand.

Pity the opponents bidding wasn't up to standard as most of the other players were bidding and make 4♥.

 

You can also play out the following hand  to see how the hand pans out. (You need bridgvu.exe programme  and it is available free from   http://www.haroldschogger.videoes.html or BridgeBase programme on your machine already to view it )
