My first match with Warwick A-team
So on Sunday, during our usual meeting session, James suddenly comes in all flustered and asks if I can play on Monday evening. After some exchange of SMSes as to whether we were playing at home or away, I found myself sitting opposite Rachel in Meeting Room 6 in Student Union HQ. The opposing team has Martin Jones playing.
The first 12 boards were terrible, but not a disaster, actually they were fine except for the two boards which gave away most of the 8-29 scoreline.
How would you play this 3NT contract after 1NT-3NT on a 2 of club lead?

I won the first trick (E contributed the Q) with the K and played low towards K of hearts. Taken by A, K diamond return which I ducked and now a small heart on which I played the T losing to the J. One down.
Still wondering if I should play the clubs first, since after a spade lead by teammates, declarer ran the clubs, guessed hearts right and made +2.
The 2nd half was 20-23, with 16 of our imps coming in on one board where Rachel made 5HX helped by misdefence while 6HX went 2 off at the other table.
As this was KO match (cup match?), the margin didn’t matter though.
