Fortunately for you, the opponents led a Heart, the suit they both bid and you were able to immediately ruff
The hand is easy. You draw trumps in two rounds and then finesse the Diamonds. Although it loses, and the suit breaks badly, you can now dump a losing Club on the winning Diamond Jack.
The contract can go down on a Club lead but if West led a Club, I would call the director J
East West has a good save in 7© which would only go 2 down- quite a hand J
