Dan Preston had twice gone close to giving the Bucks the lead with two headed attempts in the first 20 minutes.

But Macclesfield took the lead when Morgan-Smith's sliced finish squirmed past Bucks goalkeeper Ryan Young.

John Paul Kissock and Matthew Barnes-Homer then both missed the target for the visitors from inviting positions before the break.

But Morgan-Smith doubled the visitors' lead with a neat finish nine minutes after the interval.

Phil Trainer did well to deny Barnes-Homer a shooting chance with 20 minutes remaining but the visitors saw out the rest of the game without any real difficulty.

Telford have now gone 23 league games - half a season - without a win.
