Soham's best chance came midway through the second period when Charles Libam had a header cleared off the line when Stuart Williams flicked on Paul Jones's corner.
Benjamin said: "The FA Vase can be quite lucrative and it is an important competition for us. I put out a strong team, but we were very poor all round.
