Leading scorer Finlay Sinclair-Smith gave the Merseysiders the lead with a penalty kick in the first half, and on 68 minutes, Jack Bainbridge doubled their advantage.
Twelve minutes from time, Kane Drummond gave Macclesfield hope, but the pre-match favorites will still play in the NPL in 2024–25.
Approximately three years after their renowned FA Cup run, in which they met Tottenham Hotspur in the third round, Marines had another exciting event to celebrate.
They were only promoted back to the NPL Premier Division two years ago, after beating Runcorn in the West Division play-off final, in the same season they also won the Liverpool Senior Cup.
It’s their reward for sticking with manager Neil Young, despite being relegated from the NPL top division after 40 consecutive seasons back in 2019, and they have now reached National League North for the first time.
