Coleman 3–1, Jennifer Poulter 4–0, and Allison Fisher 5–1 in the knockout stages, before losing 5–6 to Maureen Baynton in the semi-final.^[2] Baynton had led 3-0 before LeMaitch levelled at 3-3. Baynton took the next frame, then LeMaitch won the two after that to lead 5–4. Baynton then won the concluding two frames, to win the match.^[3]

She was third in the 1984 National Express Grand Prix ladies snooker series. LeMaich won two of the five tournaments, those held in Basingstoke and Peterborough, beating eventual series winner Mandy Fisher in both finals.^[1][4] In the 1986 World Ladies Snooker Championship, LeMaich beat Agnes Davies 3–1 in the last 16, then Stacey Hillyard 4–3 in the quarter-final, and Kim Shaw 4–3 in the semi-final. In the final, she lost 0–5 to defending champion Allison Fisher.^[2]

LeMaich won a number of Canadian snooker titles, and also sometimes played in Nine-ball pool tournaments sometimes, before a back problem forced her to retire at the age of 31, in about 1988.^[5]
