Cute hand

[ArtK78]

This hand came up in a 28 board team match last night. I made 3NT on a defensive error, but I believe the hand can always be made after the opening lead. I would appreciate your thoughts.

 

Here is the hand:

Trick 1: ♠3, 6, 9, 10

Trick 2: ♠A, 2, 8, ♣3

Trick 3: ♠5, 4, Q, ♣4 [this is not the error that I was referring to above, but it was clearly not the best play available]

Trick 4: ♣2, Q, 6, 7

Trick 5: ♥J, Q, 3, 6

Trick 6: ♣J, 10, K, A

Trick 7: ♥10, 2, 4, K

 

Take it from here with the lead in the North hand.

So it looks like you cash the two clubs and pitch a heart and a diamond, then lead a diamond playing the 7 regardless of which one E plays.
