6 Clubs down 2 +300.
7 ♦ is a lay down.
4♥ makes, even tho West has KJ97 of Hearts.

WE bid very poorly
How should the bidding have gone?

Thank you

My first thought is that 5♦-6♦ is not out of the question, but:

1♦-(2♣)-2♥-(5♣)
5♦-P/6♣-6/7♦

2♥ is forcing for us, more awkward if you play NFB, opp may not bid 5♣ over 2, so you may get more space

I think the pass over 5♣ is a little weak, it can easily be right, but I think it's against the odds

I really like north's choice to open 1D! I decline to comment on the rest of your auction. ;)

1D (2C) 2H (5C)
5D (6C) 7D

Looks very reasonable to me.
