He scored his first competitive goal on matchday two in a 4-1 away win against Skála ÍF , with Benjaminsen scoring 2-0. In the last third of the season he was promoted to the first team and came there a total of seven first division appearances. From 1996 he was finally part of the regular team of the first division team and played most of the league games as well as all cup games. His first goal in the top Faroese league he succeeded on matchday 13 to the 3-1 final against VB Vágur . In 2002, Benjaminsen was voted Player of the Year for the first time.
