Despite the double spade stopper, declarer went down two. Took the reasonable line of taking the double club finesse.
At the other table, the lead was the diamond 7. Declarer was not tested, made nine tricks for +600.
Our team won 13 imps.
You may have noticed Declarer could have come home if she run 4 diamonds to squeeze North between hearts and clubs!
